Morphology

vena + centralis + glandulae + suprarenalis

The phrase is fully compositional: 'vena' = vein, 'centralis' = central, 'glandulae' = (of the) gland, and 'suprarenalis' = suprarenal/adrenal, so the combined meaning is literally the central vein of the adrenal gland. This Latinate medical formation follows regular morphological rules found across many languages, so a learner who knows each constituent can transparently derive the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Vena centralis glandulae suprarenalis comes from Latin words that name its parts: vena means 'vein', centralis means 'central', glandulae means 'of the gland', and suprarenalis means 'above the kidney'. So the name shows the main vein in the middle of the adrenal gland that carries blood away from the gland.
