Morphology

vena + arcuata + renis

This is a fully compositional anatomical Latin term: 'vena' = vein, 'arcuata' = arched/curved, and 'renis' = of the kidney, so the overall meaning 'arcuate (kidney) vein' or 'vein in the kidney' is directly derivable from the parts. Despite being technical Latin morphology, the semantic pieces map transparently to standard English anatomical naming, so a learner who knows the constituent meanings would understand it.

Etymology

Vena arcuata renis comes from Latin: vena 'vein', arcuata 'arched', and renis 'of the kidney'. Imagine an arch-shaped vein at the edge of the kidney that collects blood from many small veins, so the name fits its meaning as the curved kidney vein that receives blood.
