Morphology
arteria + celiaca
The compound is a straightforward Latin-derived composition: 'arteria' corresponds to 'artery' and 'celiaca' refers to the celiac/abdominal region, so a learner who knows those constituent meanings can infer 'the artery of the celiac/abdominal region' that supplies stomach organs. Medical and Latin-derived anatomical terms are highly compositional and cross-linguistically cognate, making the meaning transparently derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Arteria celiaca is made of arteria and celiaca. Arteria means 'artery' and celiaca comes from a Greek word meaning 'belly' or 'stomach', so the name literally says 'artery of the belly' and that is why it refers to the blood vessel that gives blood to the belly organs.
