Morphology

eductor-jet + pump

A B1 learner who knows 'pump' and 'jet' could reasonably infer this is a pump driven by a jet of fluid, so part of the meaning is predictable from the constituents. However, 'eductor' (and the hyphenated 'eductor-jet') is a technical term referring to a specific Venturi-based suction mechanism, so the precise mechanism and technical sense are not derivable from basic vocabulary and require domain knowledge.

Etymology

The noun eductor-jet pump combines eductor (meaning 'to draw out') and jet (a strong stream). Imagine a fast jet of water or steam moving through a narrow tube and making a pull that draws another liquid into the flow, so the name describes a pump that uses a jet to 'draw in' fluid.
