Morphology

electromotive + drug + administration

The phrase is directly compositional: 'electromotive' (relating to electric current) + 'drug' (medicine) + 'administration' (the giving of a medication) yields the idea of administering drugs using an electric current. Despite being a technical medical term, the meaning is transparently built from the constituents and would be inferable by a learner who knows each word.

Etymology

Electromotive drug administration comes from the simple image of using electricity to push medicine into the body. Here electro means electric and motive means 'to move', so the phrase describes using a small electric current to 'push' the medicine into body tissues, which is exactly what the technique does.
