Morphology

secundigravida = gravida (semi-transparent) = secundi + gravida

Formed from the combining form 'secundi-' (second) + the technical noun 'gravida'; the morphological formation is regular but the Latin combining form and medical term are likely unfamiliar to average B1 learners.

Etymology

The word secundigravida comes from Latin parts secundi- 'second' and -gravida 'pregnant', so it names a woman who is pregnant for the second time.
