Morphology
The overall meaning is directly compositional: 'erectile' relates to erection/being able to become rigid and 'dysfunction' means impaired functioning, so together they predictably denote impaired erectile function. This is a medical compound that is cross‑linguistically and morphologically regular (e.g. Spanish/French equivalents), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Erectile dysfunction comes from the words erectile, from erect meaning 'to stand up', and dysfunction meaning 'not working'. So, the image of something that should stand up but does not is why the phrase today means 'difficulty getting or keeping an erection'.
