hyperglycemia

/hˌaɪpɚɡlaɪsˈimiə/ noun

An unusually high concentration of sugar in the blood

Word Origin From Greek hyper- 'over', glykys 'sweet', and haima 'blood' — literally 'over-sweet blood'. That's the medical term for high blood sugar. The same sweet root gives us glucose, glycerin, and glycogen, while -emia shows up in anemia (lack of blood) and leukemia (white blood).
