Morphology
electronic + bulletin + board
The meaning — a board (a place for posting notices) that is electronic — is directly derivable from combining 'electronic' (connected to electronic technology) with 'bulletin' (a short notice) and 'board' (a surface for displaying notices). This straightforward adjective+noun+noun composition is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should readily infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Electronic bulletin board comes from the old wall bulletin board where people pinned paper notices. With electronic meaning 'on a computer', the phrase became a name for an online place to 'post messages' and 'share news'.
