Etymology
'euvolemia' originates from Greek prefix 'eu-' meaning 'good' or 'well' combined with New Latin/medical formation 'volemia' (from Latin-based 'volume' elements) referring to 'volume (of blood)'.
'euvolemia' was formed in modern medical Latin/English by combining the Greek prefix 'eu-' with the element 'volemia' used in compounds such as 'hypovolemia' and 'hypervolemia'; these compound forms entered medical usage in the 19th–20th centuries.
Initially coined to denote a 'good' or 'normal blood volume,' the term has retained that technical meaning in contemporary clinical use.
