Morphology

missilery = missile (transparent) = missile + ery

Formation from 'missile' + '-ery' yields a grouping or branch sense (units equipped with missiles), which learners can infer from the components.

Etymology

Missilery comes from missile, which goes back to Latin mittere 'to send', plus the ending -ery, which makes a word about a place, a supply, or a practice like bakery or armory. So missilery is the set, the military units, or the science of weapons that are 'sent' at a target, and that explains its modern meaning as missiles, the missile branch, or missile technology.
