Morphology

arteria + ovarica

Although this is a Latin/medical term, its constituents are transparent morphological roots meaning 'artery' (arteria) and 'relating to the ovary' (ovarica). A learner who knows those roots can directly infer 'the artery supplying the ovary', and the same logic is used across many languages, so the composition is predictable.

Etymology

Arteria ovarica comes from Latin: arteria means 'artery' and ovarica means 'ovary'. It is the artery that goes to and supplies blood to the ovaries, so the name literally means 'artery of the ovary'.
