Morphology

bloodbeat = blood + beat (transparent) = blood + beat

Meaning is directly and transparently derived from the clear combination of 'blood' + 'beat' to mean a pulsing of the blood.

Etymology

Bloodbeat comes from blood and beat, so imagine blood 'beating' like a drum you can feel inside you, much like a heartbeat or 'pulse'. That's why bloodbeat means a regular pulsing or throbbing you feel in the body.
