Morphology

lipoidemia = lipoid (semi-transparent) = lipoid + emia

The term is a regular medical formation ('lipoid' + '-emia') whose parts are interpretable to those familiar with medical vocabulary, but the combining form and suffix are technical and may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

Lipoidemia comes from the parts lipo- meaning 'fat' and -emia meaning 'blood'. So lipoidemia is a condition of having too much fat in the blood.
