Morphology

subacute + inclusion + body + encephalitis

Knowing 'subacute' and 'encephalitis' lets a learner infer the core idea of a not-fully-acute inflammation of the brain, so the central concept is compositional. However, 'inclusion body' is a technical cytological term and specifics such as rarity, progressive course, and measles etiology are specialized and not predictable from the parts, so the expression is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Subacute inclusion body encephalitis is a medical name that comes from how the illness looks in the body. subacute means 'not sudden but not very slow', inclusion body means 'tiny clumps inside cells', and encephalitis means 'inflammation of the brain', so the name describes a gradual brain illness with clumps inside brain cells.
