Relating to or affecting the blood; connected with the composition or function of blood.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) plus Latin '-ic' (relating to). This medical and scientific adjective has been used since the 1800s to describe blood-related conditions and substances.
Hemic is the medical adjective doctors use when they want to sound precise—saying 'hemic condition' instead of 'blood problem' lets them specify exactly what system is affected, which matters for diagnosis.
