Etymology of HEMODIASTASE

The word hemodiastase has a relatively straightforward etymology. It is formed by combining two Greek roots: hemo- which means blood and diastasis which means separation or disturbance. The combining form -ase is often used to indicate an enzyme. Therefore, hemodiastase literally means blood enzyme disturbance or blood enzyme separation.
