Morphology
IUD = I + U + D
The headword is an initialism (IUD); the component letters do not transparently convey the meaning to learners, so the form is not useful for deriving the definition.
Etymology
IUD stands for intrauterine device. The parts intra- and uterus mean 'inside' and 'womb', so an IUD is a small device put inside the womb to prevent pregnancy.
