'vasculogenetic' originates from New Latin/Neo-Latin, combining Latin 'vasculum' (a diminutive of 'vas' meaning 'vessel') and Greek 'genētikos' ('producing' or 'origin'), where the elements together denote 'producing or relating to vessels'.

'vasculogenetic' was formed as a modern medical coinage from New Latin 'vasculogeneticus' (built from 'vascul-' + Greek-derived '-geneticus') and was adopted into English usage to describe processes related to vasculogenesis.

Initially, the components referred to the 'origin or production of vessels'; over time the combined term came to be used specifically for processes and factors relating to vasculogenesis (formation of blood vessels), a meaning retained in modern medical usage.
