Morphology

missilery = missile (semi-transparent) = missile + ery

The structure 'missile' + '-ery' is clear, but the abstract sense 'science/technology of missiles' is a more specialized, less predictable extension for average learners.

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.
