Morphology

vena + labialis

The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'vena' denotes a vein and 'labialis' is the adjectival form meaning 'labial' (relating to the lips/labia), so a learner who knows both constituents can directly infer 'labial vein' that drains blood from the lips of the vulva. Although it is a technical Latin-derived term and appears in specialist contexts, its meaning follows regular morphological composition and is therefore immediately recoverable from the parts.

Etymology

Vena labialis comes from Latin words: vena means 'vein' and labialis means 'of the lip'. That's why it can also mean the vein that drains blood from the lips of the vulva.
