Morphology
kalemia = kal + emia
The components 'kal' and 'emia' are not recognizable English morphemes, making the word opaque to learners without specialized knowledge.
Etymology
The word kalemia comes from the old chemical name kalium, which means 'potassium', and the ending -emia, which means 'blood' and is seen in words like anemia. So kalemia is a blood condition involving potassium, often meaning an excess of potassium in the blood.
