anemia

From Ancient Greek ἀναιμία (anaimía), built from ἀν- (an-, "not") plus αἷμα (haîma, "blood") and the suffix -ία. By surface analysis in English, it breaks down as an- + -emia.

The word has stayed close to its roots, keeping the sense of 'without blood' as a description of a blood condition.

The -emia ending it carries links it to other English blood-condition words built the same way, all tracing back to haîma, the Greek word for blood.
