Morphology

anterior + labial + vein

Each constituent directly contributes to the referent: 'anterior' (toward the front) + 'labial' (relating to the labia) + 'veins' (blood vessels) yields veins at the front part of the labia. This is a compositional anatomical noun phrase that follows regular English formation and is therefore readily inferable by a learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

Anterior labial veins names the small veins at the front of the outer 'lips' of the female genitals. The word anterior means 'front', labial refers to those 'lips', and veins are the thin tubes that carry blood away, so the term literally points to the veins at the front of the labia that drain blood.
