Morphology

closed-loop + system

The compound 'closed-loop' is compositionally built from 'closed' (not open) and 'loop' (a circuit or cycle), so a learner who knows those words plus 'system' can infer a system in which outputs loop back as inputs — i.e. resources circulate rather than flow out. However, the specific technical details (recovering, cleaning, reintegrating materials) and domain-specific usage may not be fully predictable for a B1 learner without prior exposure, so the expression is only partially transparent.

Etymology

The term closed-loop system comes from the image of a closed circle or loop where information goes out and then comes back to control the machine. So, it means a system that uses 'feedback' to check itself and make automatic changes.
