Surface Forms
Morphology
ketogenic = ketone (semi-transparent) = ketone + genic
The adjective is recognizably formed from 'ketone' plus '-genic', but its specialized biochemical meaning is not fully predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Ketogenic breaks into keto- from 'ketone', a small chemical the body makes when it burns fat, and -genic meaning 'producing'. So ketogenic means 'producing ketones', which is why a ketogenic diet makes the body produce ketone bodies.
