Morphology

hemodynamic = dynamic (semi-transparent) = hemo + dynamic + hemo

The adjective 'dynamic' is clear, but 'hemo-' is a technical combining form meaning 'blood' that may not be known to average learners, so the composition is only partly transparent.

Etymology

Hemodynamic comes from Greek parts haima meaning 'blood' and dynamis meaning 'power' or 'force', the same root as in dynamic. So hemodynamic describes the 'power' and flow of blood in the body, which is why we use it for blood circulation and heart function.
