Surface Forms

chondrogenesis singular

chondrogeneses plural

Morphology

chondrogenesis = genesis (semi-transparent) = chondro + genesis

The root 'chondro' is not a standalone English word but is commonly used in medical terminology to refer to cartilage, making it semi-transparent for those familiar with such terms.

Etymology

Chondrogenesis breaks into chondro- meaning 'cartilage' and -genesis meaning 'creation', the same root you see in generate and genesis. So chondrogenesis is the process of 'creating cartilage' in the body.
