Morphology
juvenile-onset + diabetes
The phrase is compositionally built from 'juvenile' (young) + 'onset' (beginning), so its meaning—diabetes that begins in childhood or youth—is directly derivable from the parts. This medical compound follows standard English noun-modifier composition and has clear equivalents in other languages, so a learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Juvenile-onset diabetes comes from the parts juvenile, meaning 'a young person', onset, meaning 'the start', and diabetes, meaning 'the sugar disease'. So the name shows it is 'diabetes' that begins in childhood, which is why it means the form of diabetes that starts early and often needs insulin.
