Morphology

multicoil = coil (transparent) = multi + coil

A straightforward prefixation with multi- + coil; the meaning is directly recoverable from the parts.

Etymology

The word multicoil joins multi- 'many' and coil 'a loop of wire', so it literally means 'many coils'. A multicoil system has several loops of wire working together, which is why engineers use it to improve electric or magnetic performance.
