We don't expect folks to analyze any spelled-solid words into components, let alone those composed from elements from other languages. This leads to some silly inclusions on occasion (eg, many of the words beginning in non- and un-), but forms a bright line that reduces the number of RfDs.

Aren't all elliptocytoses hereditary? DCDuring TALK 22:57, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Keep. A synonym or perhaps alternative form. (A search ""elliptocytosis" -"hereditary elliptocytosis"" yields 4400 hits, versus 5310 for "hereditary elliptocytosis".) It was described before it was found to be hereditary, if that explains anything.— Pingkudimmi 01:29, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
