Morphology

plastering + machine

The meaning 'a machine used to apply plaster' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'plastering' (the act of applying plaster) with 'machine' (a powered device). This is a straightforward compound noun following common English noun-modifier composition and is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

Plastering machine refers to a machine that does plastering: it sprays or spreads wet plaster over walls and ceilings to make a smooth surface. So, it means 'a machine used to apply plaster or render to walls and ceilings'.
