Morphology

hydraulic + transmission + system

Each constituent contributes a clear, literal meaning: 'hydraulic' = using fluid pressure, 'transmission' = transfer of power, and 'system' = a set of components. Combined, they transparently yield 'a system that transfers power using fluid', so a B1 learner who knows the parts should be able to infer the overall meaning despite the technical domain.

Etymology

Hydraulic transmission system comes from a simple picture: hydraulic means using a 'liquid', transmission means 'sending', and system is a group of parts working together. Think of liquid pushed through pipes to move machine parts like people passing boxes. The moving liquid 'sends' power, so the phrase means a system that uses liquid under pressure to send force.
