Morphology

arteria + iliolumbalis

Although the dictionary entries are missing, this is a compositional Latin anatomical term: 'arteria' = artery and 'iliolumbalis' = ilio- (iliac) + lumbalis (lumbar). The overall meaning (an artery serving the iliac/lumbar pelvic region) follows directly from combining those parts, so a learner who knows the constituents would be able to derive the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Arteria iliolumbalis is a Latin name made of parts: arteria means 'artery', a blood vessel, ilio points to the ilium or pelvis, and lumbalis means 'lower back'. So the name shows an artery near the pelvis and lower back that 'carries blood to' pelvic muscles and bones.
