Morphology

quadripara = para (opaque) = quadri + para

The prefix 'quadri-' indicates four, but the obstetric term 'para' is specialized and not readily inferable for average learners.

Etymology

Quadripara comes from two parts: quadri- meaning 'four', like in quadruple, and -para meaning 'to give birth', which is related to parent. So a quadripara is a woman who has had four births.
