Morphology
The term is a straightforward composition of the pathogen name 'Fusarium' and the disease type 'wilt'; a learner who knows Fusarium (a plant-infecting fungus) and wilt (drooping/shriveling of plant tissues) can infer it means the wilt caused by Fusarium. This organism+disease naming pattern is common in biology and across languages, making the meaning directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Fusarium wilt is named for the fungus Fusarium and the word wilt. The fungus lives in the soil and attacks the roots so the plant cannot take up water, making leaves droop and turn yellow, so the name describes a fungus that makes plants 'wilt'.
