Morphology
force-feed + lubricate + system
The phrase is compositionally built: 'force-feed' (to push in under pressure) + 'lubricating' (providing oil/grease) + 'system' (collection of components) yields a system that forces lubricant into engine parts. Despite being technical vocabulary, a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings can infer the overall function, and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, so the expression is predictable from its parts.
Etymology
Force-feed lubricating system gets its name from how it works: the force-feed part means a pump pushes oil and the lubricating system means a way to deliver oil to the engine's moving parts. So the phrase describes a system that pushes oil under pressure to keep parts from wearing out.
