'angiohemophilia' originates from Greek and New Latin, specifically the words 'angeion' meaning 'vessel', 'haima' meaning 'blood', and 'philia' meaning 'love or tendency'.

'angiohemophilia' was formed in modern medical terminology by combining Greek and Latin roots to describe a blood disorder related to blood vessels and a tendency to bleed.

Initially, it referred specifically to a bleeding disorder involving blood vessels, but now it is used as a synonym for hemophilia A, a deficiency of factor VIII.
