Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'Jungian' specifies that the psychology relates to Carl Jung's ideas, and 'psychology' means the study of mind, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes Jung's approach to psychology. Although somewhat technical, the modifier+noun pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, making the phrase transparent to learners familiar with the adjective 'Jungian'.
Etymology
Jungian psychology is named after the Swiss doctor Jung, who pictured a hidden inner world of common images called 'archetypes'. He used that picture to explain dreams and the process of becoming a whole person, so today the term means ideas about dreams, shared inner images, and 'becoming whole'.
