Morphology

vena + interlobulares + renis

The phrase is compositionally built from identifiable parts: 'vena' = vein, 'interlobulares' = between lobules (interlobular), and 'renis' = of the kidney (genitive). Although the items are Latin/medical forms, their meanings combine in a straightforward, referential way—‘interlobular veins of the kidney’—so a learner who knows the constituent morphemes can derive the overall sense.

Etymology

Venae interlobulares renis literally names the small veins that run between the tiny sections of a kidney: venae means veins, interlobulares means between lobules, and renis means 'of the kidney'. These veins carry blood from the kidney's outer part toward the larger renal veins, so the name describes their job — 'veins that drain the kidney'.
