'aorticorenal' originates as an English compound of 'aortic' and 'renal', where 'aortic' ultimately derives from Greek 'aortē' meaning 'aorta' and 'renal' derives from Latin 'renalis' meaning 'of the kidneys'.

'aortic' came into English via Latin/Greek ('aorta' < Greek 'aortē') and 'renal' via Latin 'renalis' (from 'renes' = 'kidneys'); the two were later joined in modern medical English to form the compound 'aorticorenal' (joining the stems 'aortic-' + 'renal').

Initially the components meant 'pertaining to the aorta' and 'pertaining to the kidneys' respectively; combined in modern usage they designate structures or relations involving both the aorta and renal region (e.g., aorticorenal ganglion).
