Morphology
electronic + simulative + deception
Each component directly contributes to the overall meaning: 'electronic' specifies the means, 'simulative' indicates imitation or replication, and 'deception' denotes the act of misleading. Together they compositionally describe deception carried out by electronic simulation; despite being technical, the sense is predictable from the constituents, so a learner who knows the words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Electronic simulative deception is the practice of using electronic signals to simulate friendly units so enemy sensors see a false picture. That's why it means 'using electronic means to make the enemy believe false information about friendly forces'.
