Translation:
Greek Flebotomia translates into Latin as vene incisio {"cutting into a vein"}; from Greek fles, which means "vein", and tome, which means "incision" or sectio {"cutting"}.
Commentary:
Greek φλεβοτομία /phlebotomía/ is the term for "blood-letting". It is a compound noun consisting of φλέψ /phléps/, gen. φλεβός /phlebós/ meaning "blood-vessel, whether vein or artery, but sometimes distinguished from artery" (LSJ) and τομή /tomḗ/ or τομός /tomós/ from τέμνω /témnō/ "cutting, cleaving".
