Morphology

hemogenesis = genesis (semi-transparent) = hemo + genesis

Built from the combining form 'hemo' (blood) + 'genesis' (formation); the medical combining form 'hemo-' is technical, so the composition is not fully transparent to general learners.

Etymology

Hemogenesis is made of hemo- meaning 'blood' and -genesis meaning 'birth' or 'creation'. That's why hemogenesis refers to the formation or making of blood cells inside the body, especially in the bone marrow.
