Morphology
histoincompatibility = incompatibility (semi-transparent) = histo + compatible + ity
The combining form 'histo-' adds a technical 'tissue' specification to the clearly analyzable 'incompatibility', which may be unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
Histoincompatibility combines histo- meaning 'tissue', like in histology, and incompatibility meaning 'not fitting together'. So it refers to tissues from two people that do not match, which can cause a transplant to be rejected.
