Morphology

hyperlipoidaemia = lipoidaemia (opaque) = hyper + lipoid + aemia

Adding hyper- to the medical base word 'lipoidaemia' is a structurally clear intensification.

Etymology

Hyperlipoidaemia comes from Greek parts: hyper- 'over' (as in hyperactive), lipo- 'fat', and -aemia 'blood'. So it literally means 'too much fat in the blood', which explains the medical meaning.
