Morphology

hemorrhagic + stroke

The term combines 'hemorrhagic' (relating to bleeding) with 'stroke' (sudden interruption of blood flow), so the meaning 'a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain' is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional medical label mirrors equivalent forms in many languages, making it predictable for learners who know both words.

Etymology

The term hemorrhagic stroke comes from hemorrhagic, a word meaning 'bleeding', and stroke, an old word for a sudden 'attack'. It pictures a sudden 'attack' on the brain when a blood vessel bursts and causes bleeding, so the term means a stroke 'from bleeding'.
