Not relating to or containing a fetus; without fetal characteristics (medical term).
From prefix 'a-' meaning 'without' combined with 'fetal' (from Latin fetalis, relating to fetus).
Doctors use this word to describe pregnancies or tissues that don't involve a developing fetus, but the word itself is a perfect example of how medical language builds by adding prefixes.
