Morphology

endovenous = venous (semi-transparent) = endo + venous

Formally composed of the combining form 'endo-' (within) + 'venous', but the prefix is a technical combining form and the whole word is medical, so it may not be fully obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Endovenous comes from the Greek part endo- meaning 'inside' and venous from vein, a 'blood vessel'. So an endovenous treatment happens 'inside a vein', which is why it describes treatments done through the vein instead of open surgery.
