Morphology

thrombose = thrombus (transparent) = thrombus + ose

The verb is directly formed from the medical noun 'thrombus' with a verb-forming suffix '-ose', so its meaning is predictable for someone who knows 'thrombus'.

Etymology

Thrombose comes from the Greek root thrombos, which means 'clot'. So thrombose means a blood vessel 'becomes blocked' by a clot, and that image explains its modern medical meaning.
