Morphology
pressure-feed + lubricate + system
The phrase is fully compositional: 'pressure-feed' indicates feeding by pressure, 'lubricating' derives from 'lubricate' (to apply oil), and 'system' denotes a set of components. Together they straightforwardly describe a system that supplies lubricant under pressure; despite being technical, the overall meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and would be understandable to a learner who knows the parts.
Etymology
The phrase pressure-feed lubricating system describes a system where a pump pushes oil under pressure to feed engine parts so they stay smooth and move without rubbing. That's why the name means a pump-forced oil supply that keeps bearings and other moving parts lubricated.
