Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'endocrine' (relating to glands or hormone secretion) with 'system' (a set of organs working together). Although somewhat technical, the compositional structure clearly yields 'the collection of glands that produce hormones', a sense that a B1 learner who knows the two constituents can infer.
Etymology
The endocrine system is like a hidden mail service inside your body: tiny glands send 'hormone' letters to organs to tell them when to grow, use energy, or have babies. The word endocrine refers to those glands and the word system shows they work together, so the phrase means the group that controls many body functions.
