Morphology

vena + obliqua + atrii + sinistri

This is a literal anatomical description whose meaning is directly compositional: 'vena' = vein, 'obliqua' = oblique, 'atrii' = of the atrium, 'sinistri' = left, so together they yield 'oblique vein of the left atrium'. The structure follows standard noun + modifier/genitive patterns (as in many European languages), so a learner who knows the constituent meanings can readily derive the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Vena obliqua atrii sinistri literally means a small slanted vein: vena means 'vein', obliqua means 'slanted', and atrii sinistri means 'of the left atrium' or 'left heart chamber'. So the name helps you picture a small slanted vein on the back wall of the left atrium that drains into the heart's larger collecting vein.
