Morphology

componentry = component (transparent) = component + ry

Formed from 'component' with the productive collective suffix '-ry', so the meaning 'the collection of components' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Componentry comes from component, which is built from com- 'together' and ponere 'to put'. Think of many small parts 'put together', like the machinery inside a car, and the ending -ry shows a group, so componentry means the group of parts that make a device.
