Morphology
ketoacidosis-resistant + diabetes + mellitus
The phrase is compositionally built: 'ketoacidosis-resistant' means 'resistant to ketoacidosis', and combined with 'diabetes mellitus' yields 'a form of diabetes mellitus that does not readily develop ketoacidosis.' The adjective–noun and compound pattern is regular and predictable, so if a learner knows the constituent medical terms, the overall meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
Ketoacidosis-resistant diabetes mellitus comes from its parts: ketoacidosis meaning a dangerous acid build-up, resistant meaning 'not easily affected', and diabetes mellitus meaning 'sugar disease'. That's why the name helps you remember: it describes a milder kind of diabetes with high blood sugar but 'resistant' to the acid problem, so it is often treated with diet or pills instead of insulin.
