Morphology
juvenile + rheumatoid + arthritis
The phrase combines 'juvenile' (young) + 'rheumatoid' (relating to rheumatoid disease) + 'arthritis' (joint inflammation), so its meaning—rheumatoid-type arthritis occurring in children—is directly derivable from the parts. Although it is medical terminology, the compositional structure is straightforward and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a medical name that links juvenile, meaning 'a young person', with rheumatoid arthritis, meaning a kind of joint swelling and pain. Picture a child with stiff, swollen knees or hands; that image explains why the phrase means 'arthritis that affects children'.
