'angiopressure' originates from modern scientific English, combining the prefix 'angio-' from Greek 'angeion' meaning 'vessel' and 'pressure' from Latin 'pressura' meaning 'pressing'.

'angio-' and 'pressure' were combined in modern English to form the term 'angiopressure', used in medical and alternative health contexts.

Initially, it referred specifically to the application of pressure to blood vessels, and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
