An enema is a liquid put into the last part of the bowel, through the bottom, so the bowel will empty. A nurse or doctor may give one before a hospital test, or when someone cannot go to the toilet for a long time; some people also give themselves one at home with a kit from a pharmacy. The same spelling is sometimes a verb (to enema someone), though English more often says give someone an enema. It is a normal medical word, not a rude one, but it is private: you will hear it in a hospital, not over dinner. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it as a joke for anything that “clears you out”; that is not the real use.
組成English took this as a learned borrowing from Late Latin enema, itself from Ancient Greek ἔνεμα (énema), “injection,” from ἐνίημι (eníēmi), “to send in, inject.” It does not split into English pieces a learner can see.
