Morphology

identification + particle

The meaning is directly compositional: 'identification' (the act or means of identifying) modifies 'particle' (a tiny bit), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a tiny particle used for identification or tracing. This noun+noun compound follows common English and cross‑linguistic patterns, making the MWE transparent to learners.

Etymology

Identification particle comes from the idea of a tiny secret particle added to a product to give it identification. Think of it as a 'hidden fingerprint' that can show where the product was made, so the term means a small bit added to prove where something came from.
