Morphology

anticrisis = crisis (transparent) = anti + crisis

The meaning is directly compositional: anti- means against or opposing, and crisis names the problem being countered.

Etymology

Anticrisis comes from the parts anti- and crisis, where anti- means 'against' and crisis means 'danger' or 'emergency'. So anticrisis describes something made to fight a crisis, meaning it is meant to prevent or reduce the crisis's harm.
