hemo
Prefix for blood
Hemo is a combining form meaning blood, from Greek.
It appears at the beginning of medical and scientific terms: hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells), hemophilia (a bleeding disorder), hemorrhage (severe bleeding), hemodialysis (blood filtration).
The variant hema- appears in hematology.
British English spells these haemo- and haema-.
