Morphology

arteria + bulbi + vestibuli

The phrase is morphologically compositional: Latin elements correspond to 'artery' + 'bulb' + 'vestibule', so conceptually it means 'artery of the bulb of the vestibule' and is derivable from its parts. However, it is technical anatomical vocabulary written in Latin inflected forms (genitives) that a B1 learner will usually not recognise or have productive knowledge of, so understanding is only partially accessible and requires specialized/formal knowledge.

Etymology

Arteria bulbi vestibuli comes from three Latin words: arteria ('artery'), bulbi ('bulb'), and vestibuli ('vestibule' or 'entrance'). It was named because this artery goes to a small 'bulb' at the entrance of the female genital area, so the name tells you what it does.
