Morphology
in + vivo
The preposition 'in' gives a clear locative clue, but 'vivo' is a Latin form (not a common English word) so an average B1 learner who only knows basic English vocabulary is unlikely to derive 'inside a living organism' from the parts alone. However, the phrase is frequently used in scientific contexts and 'vivo' has transparent cognates in many Romance languages (and links to forms like 'vital'/'viv-'), so learners with some cross-linguistic knowledge or exposure to science can often infer the meaning, making it partially but not fully transparent.
Etymology
In vivo is made of in and vivo, and it literally means 'inside a living body'. Scientists use in vivo to say a test or experiment was done in an animal or person, not in glass, so it means 'happening inside a living organism'.
