Morphology
abrachia = a + brachia
The term is opaque as 'brachia' is not a recognizable English word, and the medical context is specialized.
Etymology
Abrachia comes from the Greek parts a- meaning 'without' and brachi- meaning 'arm', the same root you can find in English words like bracelet. So, abrachia is a medical word for being born 'without arms'.
