Morphology

hypospray = hypospray (semi-transparent) = hypo + spray

The verb is a direct conversion from the noun hypospray, and its meaning remains closely tied to the device name.

Etymology

Hypospray as a verb comes from the same parts: the part hypo- meaning 'under' and the word spray meaning 'to send small drops'. So to hypospray someone is to give medicine by 'spraying' it under the skin instead of using a needle.
