Morphology
The name is compositional: 'Malaysian' (from Malaysia) + 'mujahidin' (fighters engaged in jihad) + 'group' (an organization) yields the clear sense of an organization of Malaysian Islamist fighters. While 'mujahidin' may be a less frequent lexical item, the overall meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and from standard proper-name naming patterns for organizations.
Etymology
Malaysian Mujahidin Group joins the country word Malaysian with mujahidin, an Arabic word that means 'people who struggle for their faith'. Because groups use mujahidin to show they are 'religious fighters', this name signals an armed group from Malaysia, so it is used for a militant organization active in the region.
