Morphology

arteria + renalis

Both elements are transparent Latin/medical roots: 'arteria' corresponds to 'artery' and 'renalis' corresponds to 'renal' (kidney-related), so the phrase literally denotes the artery supplying the kidney. If a learner knows those constituent roots, the compound meaning is directly derivable and follows regular medical morphology common across many languages.

Etymology

Arteria renalis comes from old Latin words: arteria meaning 'artery' and renalis meaning 'of the kidney'. The name literally says it is the artery that goes to and supplies blood to the kidney, so it describes what it does.
