English

Etymology

hemorrhage +‎ -parous

Pronunciation

/hɛmɘrɨdʒ'ɪpərəs/

Adjective

hemorrhagiparous (comparative more hemorrhagiparous, superlative most hemorrhagiparous) Template:Wikipedia

  1. Causing bleeding; producing hemorrhage.

Usage notes

The adjective is not as commonly used as its near synonym hemorrhagic, which may mean "causing hemorrhage" or "involving or relating to hemorrhage". To some degree its use is idiomatically established (versus hemorrhagic) in terms such as hemorrhagiparous thrombocytic dystrophy.
