Morphology

arteria + testicularis

The compound clearly combines 'arteria' (artery) with 'testicularis' (relating to the testicles), so the meaning 'the artery supplying the testicles' is directly derivable from the parts. This is a regular anatomical/cognate formation found across languages, so a learner who knows the constituent meanings would readily understand it.

Etymology

Arteria testicularis comes from Latin: arteria meaning 'blood vessel' and testicularis meaning 'of the testicle'. Imagine a single blood road running from the body's main artery down to the testicles, which is why the term refers to the artery that brings blood to the testicles.
