Morphology

male + internal + reproductive + organ

The phrase is fully compositional: 'male' (relating to males) + 'internal' (located inside) + 'reproductive' (related to producing offspring) + 'organ' (a body part). A B1 learner who knows these constituent meanings can readily infer it denotes a body part inside males involved in reproduction; the lexical combination follows transparent, cross-linguistic nominal modification patterns.

Etymology

The phrase male internal reproductive organ is a simple, literal name: male (in a man's body), internal (inside the body), reproductive (used to 'make babies'), and organ (a body part). So it refers to the glands inside a man's body, such as the prostate, that help make the fluid used in having babies.
