Morphology
The noun 'etatism' denotes state control and the adjective 'greater' simply marks a higher degree, so the combined meaning ('a higher degree of government control') is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts. While 'etatism' is somewhat formal or rare in everyday English, the semantic logic is straightforward and has cross-linguistic cognates (e.g., French 'étatisme'), making the phrase transparent to learners who know both constituents.
Etymology
Greater etatism comes from the French word etat, which means 'state' or government. The image is a bigger state taking charge of businesses and money, so greater etatism means 'more government control' of the economy.
