Morphology
digital + restriction + management
Each constituent directly contributes to the overall meaning: 'digital' (electronic), 'restrictions' (limits), and 'management' (the process of controlling), so the compound denotes controlling limits on digital content. Although somewhat technical, the composition follows a clear noun-noun-noun pattern and a B1 learner who knows the component words can infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Digital restrictions management comes from the simple image of putting a lock on electronic files. The parts digital, restrictions, and management show it is a system to 'control' or 'limit' how you use, open, or copy content, so the phrase means systems that act like locks on digital content.
