Morphology
Young's + modulus
The constituent 'modulus' signals a technical measure of resistance to deformation, so a learner who knows that word could guess the term relates to material stiffness. However, 'Young's' is an eponymous possessive (a scientist's name) and the precise meaning as the stress/strain ratio within the elastic limit is specialized and not fully derivable from the parts, making the expression only partially predictable.
Etymology
The name Young's modulus comes from the scientist Thomas Young, who studied how wires and rods stretch when you pull them. He compared the force on a piece of material to how much it stretches, so Young's modulus now means a simple measure of a material's 'elasticity'.
