Morphology

anomalous + communication

The phrase is compositionally built from 'anomalous' (abnormal/unusual) + 'communication' (exchange of information), so a learner who knows both words would reasonably infer a general meaning of 'unusual or abnormal communication.' However, the specific paranormal interpretation (telepathy/clairvoyance) is a specialized, non-obvious narrowing of that general sense and is not strictly entailed by the constituents, making the expression only partially predictable.

Etymology

The phrase anomalous communication links anomalous, meaning 'strange', and communication, meaning 'sending a message', to create the image of a message appearing in your mind with no voice or touch, like a sudden thought that seems to come from someone else. So, it means 'communication by paranormal means'.
