Morphology

penile = penis (transparent) = penis + ile

Formed from the noun 'penis' with the adjectival suffix '-ile', so the meaning 'relating to the penis' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Penile comes from the Latin word penis, which originally meant 'tail' and later named the male organ. So penile means 'relating to the penis', which is why the word is used in medical descriptions.
