Morphology
coumarone-indene + resin
The phrase follows a straightforward compositional pattern ("X resin") so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a resin made from coumarone and indene. However, "coumarone-indene" is a technical chemical name and the exact material properties and uses (thermoplastic polymer produced by polymerizing indene and coumarone) require domain knowledge, so the meaning is only partially predictable.
Etymology
Coumarone-indene resin is named from its two main parts, coumarone and indene, and resin means a 'sticky substance'. Imagine mixing two sticky ingredients to make a hard plastic used in paints and tiles, so the name tells you it is a resin used for coatings.
