Morphology
The term is a straightforward nominal compound of 'elastic' (springs back after deformation) + 'modulus' (a value indicating resistance to deformation), so its meaning—a measure of a material's resistance to deformation—is directly derivable from the parts. Although technical, the composition is predictable and cross-linguistically transparent, so a learner who knows both constituents should grasp the basic meaning.
Etymology
The term elastic modulus comes from elastic meaning 'stretchy' and modulus meaning a number that measures how hard something is to stretch. So, elastic modulus is the number that tells us 'how stiff' a material is and how much it resists being stretched or squeezed.
