Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'type' (a class) + 'II' (the number two) + 'diabetes' (the disease) yields 'the second/type-2 form of diabetes,' so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a subtype of diabetes. While detailed clinical properties (e.g. typical severity or treatment) require medical knowledge, the core meaning as a specific kind of diabetes is directly derivable and cross-linguistically transparent.
Etymology
Type II diabetes gets its name from doctors' way of naming diseases: 'type II' means the 'second kind', and 'diabetes' shows the body has trouble controlling blood sugar. So the name tells doctors it's the 'common adult form' that often can be managed with diet and pills.
