Morphology

vena + dorsalis + clitoridis + profunda

The phrase is a compositional anatomical name: vena (vein) + dorsalis (dorsal/upper side) + clitoridis (of the clitoris) + profunda (deep) yields the literal meaning 'deep dorsal vein of the clitoris'. Although these are Latin medical forms that a B1 learner may not usually know, if they know the constituent meanings the overall sense is directly derivable and predictable.

Etymology

Vena dorsalis clitoridis profunda is a Latin name that simply says where the blood vessel is. Vena means 'vein', dorsalis means 'on the top', clitoridis means 'of the clitoris', and profunda means 'deep', so the name tells us it is the deep dorsal vein that drains blood from the clitoris.
