Morphology
The meaning is directly composed from 'extrauterine' (outside the uterine cavity) + 'gestation' (fetal development/pregnancy), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer a pregnancy occurring outside the uterus. This is a literal, compositional medical term and follows predictable cross-linguistic formation, making it transparent.
Etymology
The medical term extrauterine gestation breaks into extra and uterine, meaning 'outside' the 'womb', so it describes a pregnancy where the baby starts growing outside the mother's womb.
