Morphology

mujahedeen + Kompak

The first constituent 'mujahedeen' clearly denotes Muslim fighters, so a learner who also understands 'Kompak' as a modifier (or name) would infer this refers to a group of fighters; that gives a clear general sense. However, 'Kompak' is a proper name/loan not listed in the dictionary and the exact referential/organizational details (formation, ideology, specific identity) cannot be predicted from the parts alone, so the full meaning is not completely derivable.

Etymology

Mujahedeen Kompak comes from two words: mujahedeen, meaning 'fighters for their religion', and kompak, an Indonesian word meaning 'united' or 'together'. So the name shows a small, close group of fighters and explains why a militant group used it after splitting from another group.
