Morphology
Micronesia = micro + nesia
The country name reuses the same classical place-name structure, but the connection between the parts and the modern proper noun is only partly transparent.
Etymology
Micronesia (the country) takes its name from the same Greek parts micro- 'small' and nesos 'island'. So the name means 'small islands', which explains why the nation is made of many scattered islands in the western Pacific.
