Angia

/ˈændʒiə/ noun

Definition

A medical term referring to blood vessels or conditions involving abnormal blood vessel formation or function.

Etymology

From Greek 'angeion,' meaning 'blood vessel.' The term forms the root of many medical compounds like 'angiogram' and 'angioplasty' that describe procedures involving blood vessels.

Kelly Says

Angia is the root that medical scientists use to build an entire vocabulary—angiography, angiitis, angioma—every word is a precise description of something wrong with blood vessels!
