Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward composition of 'digital' (electronic/number-based) + 'capsule' (a small, self-contained container or concise unit), so a learner who knows both words can infer a compact electronic storage unit. This follows normal noun-modifier patterns and parallels cross-linguistic logic (digital + container/unit), making the sense immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Digital capsule comes from the idea of a 'time capsule' used to save things for the future. The word capsule shows a small, sealed container and digital means the items are electronic files, so the phrase means 'a small, sealed container for keeping digital files safe'.
