Morphology

lymphangiogram = lymph + angiogram (semi-transparent) = lymph + angio + gram

The element 'lymph' is clear, but 'angio-' and the medical suffix '-gram' are specialist combining forms many learners will not know, so the full term is not fully transparent to a general learner.

Etymology

Lymphangiogram comes from three parts: lymph ('clear fluid' that moves around the body), angio ('vessel', like a blood vessel), and gram ('record' or 'picture', as in diagram). So a lymphangiogram is an X-ray picture or recorded image of the lymph vessels and nodes, often made after a special injection to show them clearly.
