Morphology

hematologic = hematology (semi-transparent) = hemato + ic

Formed from the noun 'hematology' by a standard adjectival suffix '-ic', a predictable and regular change.

Etymology

Hematologic comes from the Greek root haima meaning 'blood' and the ending -logy meaning 'study', as in biology. So, something hematologic is about blood or blood diseases and the tests and care that involve blood.
