Morphology
The compound straightforwardly combines 'induction' (the process involving changing magnetic fields) with 'accelerator' (a device that increases particle speed), so the meaning 'an accelerator that uses induction' is directly derivable from the parts. Although the concept is technical, the compositional logic is transparent and predictable for a learner who knows both constituent meanings.
Etymology
The noun induction accelerator comes from the words induction and accelerator. In this machine a changing magnetic field makes an electric 'push' that speeds up a steady stream of electrons, so the name means a device that increases the speed of that stream.
