Morphology

arteria + bulbi + penis

The phrase is a Latin anatomical term whose constituents correspond to English roots (arteria ≈ artery, bulbi = genitive of bulb, penis = penis), so knowing those roots would allow one to infer 'artery of the bulb of the penis'. However, the use of Latin forms, genitive morphology and technical medical register makes the construction non-obvious to an average B1 learner without exposure to Latin/medical terminology, so the transparency is only partial.

Etymology

Arteria bulbi penis comes from Latin words: arteria 'artery', bulbi 'bulb', and penis 'penis'. It literally means the artery that brings 'blood' to the bulb of the penis, so it is the blood vessel that supplies that area.
