Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'arterial' (relating to arteries that carry blood) and 'pressure' (force applied), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to the force of blood in the arteries. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common nominal compound used in medical contexts and follows predictable English noun phrase formation.
Etymology
Arterial pressure comes from a simple picture: blood in the body's arteries pressing on their walls, like water in a hose. Here arterial refers to the arteries and pressure means the 'push' or force of the blood, so the phrase describes the blood's push on artery walls.
