Morphology
acute + inclusion + body + encephalitis
The phrase is largely compositional: 'acute' = sudden, 'inclusion body' = microscopic bodies in cells, and 'encephalitis' = brain inflammation, so a learner who knows the parts can infer this refers to a sudden brain inflammation involving inclusion bodies. However, the term is specialized medical jargon and the precise clinical meaning and implications (e.g. typical viral cause, affected lobes) require domain knowledge beyond B1, making the expression only partially predictable.
Etymology
Acute inclusion body encephalitis is built from three parts: acute meaning 'sudden', inclusion body meaning 'small spots' seen inside infected cells, and encephalitis meaning 'swelling of the brain'. So the name gives a clear image — a sudden brain swelling caused by infection where tiny spots appear in cells — and that is why it refers to this specific form of brain infection.
