Morphology

vena + labiales + anteriores

The phrase is compositionally built from 'vena' (vein) + 'labiales' (labial/relating to the labia) + 'anteriores' (anterior/front), so a learner who knows those constituents can infer it means the anterior labial veins (veins at the front of the labia). The precise drainage target (external pudendal vein) is a specialist anatomical detail not signaled by the constituents, but the basic referent is transparently derivable; Latin-derived medical vocabulary is also cross-linguistically regular, which aids comprehension.

Etymology

The term venae labiales anteriores literally names venae meaning 'veins', labiales meaning 'of the labia', and anteriores meaning 'front'. Imagine small tubes at the front of the outer lips that carry blood away, so the name refers to the veins that drain blood from the 'labia majora'.
