Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'cyclonic' conveys a cyclone- or swirling-related action and 'vacuum cleaner' names the appliance, so a learner who knows both words can infer it is a vacuum that uses a cyclone-like/swirling mechanism to separate dust. Although 'cyclonic separation' is a more technical phrase, the basic meaning is transparent and follows normal adjective + noun composition patterns.
Etymology
Cyclonic vacuum cleaner gets its name from how it cleans: the word cyclonic means the air is made to 'spin' like a small cyclone, and the spinning throws dust and dirt into a clear bin. That's why it works without a 'bag' and keeps its 'suction' even as the bin fills.
