Morphology

vena + dorsales + clitoridis + superficiales

This is a literal anatomical Latin phrase composed of 'vena' (vein) + dorsales (dorsal) + clitoridis (of the clitoris) + superficiales (superficial), so its overall meaning (‘superficial dorsal veins of the clitoris’) is directly derivable from the constituents. Although Latin inflectional forms may look unfamiliar to learners, the semantic composition is straightforward and cross-linguistically transparent for anyone who knows the individual component meanings.

Etymology

Venae dorsales clitoridis superficiales literally names the parts: venae 'veins', dorsales 'top', clitoridis 'of the clitoris', and superficiales 'near the surface'. So it means the small veins that run along the top of the clitoris just under the skin and carry blood away.
