Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built (a ‘delivery vector’ is an agent that delivers, and ‘liposomal’ specifies that it uses liposomes), so its structure is predictable from the parts. However, 'liposomal' is a technical, domain-specific modifier (relating to liposomes) and the full meaning (use in gene therapy to transfer genetic material) requires specialised biomedical knowledge beyond B1 vocabulary, making it only partially transparent to typical learners.
Etymology
Liposomal delivery vector creates a clear picture: tiny fat 'bubbles', the liposomal part, carry a small package and bring it into a cell, the delivery and vector parts. So, the phrase means 'a carrier that brings genetic material into cells'.
