Morphology
arteria + appendicularis
The compound is transparently built from the Latin roots corresponding to 'artery' (arteria) and 'appendicular/appendix' (appendicularis), so a learner who knows those constituents can infer it denotes the artery supplying the appendix. Although technical/medical and in Latin word order, the compositional relation is regular and mirrors equivalent constructions in other languages, making the meaning directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Arteria appendicularis comes from Latin: arteria means 'artery' and appendicularis means 'of the appendix', so it paints a simple image of a small artery going to the appendix, and that is why the name refers to the blood vessel that supplies the appendix.
