Morphology

vena + renis

This is a literal Latin medical term: 'vena' means vein and 'renis' is the genitive of the kidney, so the phrase literally means 'veins of the kidney.' Given knowledge of both constituents and the genitive relation (i.e. 'X of Y'), the meaning is directly compositional rather than idiomatic; note the input lacks a definition for 'renis', but if a learner knows that word the expression is transparent.

Etymology

The noun venae renis comes from Latin: venae means 'veins' and renis means 'of the kidney', so it literally names the veins that drain blood from the kidney.
