Morphology
The compound literally combines 'evil' (harmful) + 'twin' (a duplicate or counterpart), so a learner can infer a harmful or malicious counterpart — the general idea of a 'bad duplicate' is accessible. However, the precise technical meaning (a rogue Wi‑Fi access point that mimics a network to intercept data) is specialized and not directly predictable from the constituents, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Evil twin is the idea of a twin who looks like someone but is evil. That's why we call a person an evil twin when they closely resemble another but have opposite or 'bad' traits, or when we jokingly blame our own 'bad side'.
