Morphology
This is a compositional medical compound: 'stress' (pressure/force) modifies 'incontinence' (involuntary loss), so a learner who knows both words can infer incontinence caused by physical strain (e.g., coughing, lifting). The construction is cross-linguistically common for naming medically caused subtypes, so the meaning is readily derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Stress incontinence comes from the words stress and incontinence. Imagine putting extra 'pressure' on your lower belly when you cough, laugh, or lift something and the urine 'leaks' because the muscles that hold it are weak. So, stress incontinence means 'urine leaks during physical activity'.
