Morphology

air-cooled = air + cooled (transparent) = air + cool + ed

The meaning is directly compositional: something cooled by air (air + cooled).

Etymology

Air-cooled comes from the simple parts air ('air') and cooled ('made cool'). It means an engine or machine that is cooled by moving air rather than by water or oil, so you can remember it by thinking 'no liquid, just air' to take away the heat.
