Morphology

flatus-relieving = flatus + relieve (transparent) = flatus + relieve + ing

The adjective is directly built from 'flatus' (intestinal gas) + 'relieve' with the participial suffix '-ing', so the meaning is a literal 'relieving of flatus' to those who know the components.

Etymology

Flatus-relieving begins with the Latin flatus, which means 'a blow' or 'breath' and came to mean 'gas', and the second part relieving means 'making less' or 'easing'. So flatus-relieving describes a medicine or treatment that helps gas leave the body and reduces the pain or bloating it causes.
