Morphology

vena + profunda + penis

Despite being a Latin anatomical term and with 'profunda' missing from the provided dictionary, the structure is fully compositional: 'vena' (vein) + 'profunda' (deep) + 'penis' (penis) yields the straightforward meaning 'deep vein of the penis'. This follows standard noun + modifier patterns common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings would be able to infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Vena profunda penis comes from Latin words: vena means 'vein', profunda means 'deep', and penis means 'penis'. The name describes a deep vein in the penis that carries blood away toward the prostate area, so it means 'a deep vein of the penis'.
