Morphology
distributed + data + processing
The phrase's meaning — data processing that is divided across multiple locations — is directly and transparently derived from 'distributed' (spread among locations), 'data' (information) and 'processing' (systematic actions). This is a regular English technical noun phrase construction that maps straightforwardly to similar constructions in other languages, so a learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The term distributed data processing gives a clear picture: distributed means 'spread out', data means 'information', and processing means 'working on it', so imagine many workers in different rooms each doing a small part and passing notes to finish the job. That is why the phrase means 'doing data work in different places that are connected'.
