Morphology

hematogenic = hemato + genic

The word is a technical formation from the classical elements 'hemato-' meaning blood and '-genic' meaning producing or forming, so the meaning is partly inferable but not fully transparent to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Hematogenic comes from the Greek parts haima 'blood' and -genic 'producing', a bit like the idea in the word 'generate'. So, hematogenic literally means 'producing blood', which is why it describes tissues or processes that make blood or blood cells.
