Morphology

glycemia = glyc + emia

Formed from Greek combining elements ('glyc-' = sweet, '-emia' = blood condition) that are not standalone English words, so an average B1 learner cannot derive the meaning from familiar English bases.

Etymology

Glycemia comes from Greek parts glyc- 'sweet' and -emia 'blood', and it shares the glyc- part with glucose. So glycemia literally means 'sweet blood', which explains why it refers to the level of sugar in the blood.
