Morphology

gravida + III

The meaning 'a woman who is pregnant for the third time' is directly derivable from combining 'gravida' (a woman carrying a pregnancy) with 'III' (the Roman numeral for three), where the numeral specifies the count of pregnancies. This is a regular, compositional medical notation rather than an idiomatic phrase, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the full meaning.

Etymology

Gravida III is a medical label made of two parts, gravida, meaning a pregnant woman, and the number III, meaning three. So it simply means 'pregnant for the third time'.
