The word is a straightforward combination of the combining form 'electro-' and the adjective 'acoustic'.
Etymology
The word electroacoustic breaks into two parts: electro-, which points to 'electric' and appears in words like electric and electron, and acoustic, which means 'to hear' and is the same word you see in 'acoustic guitar'. So, electroacoustic describes music or technology that mixes electronic sound with the sounds you hear from instruments.
