Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: 'induction' (generation of electrical current via changing magnetic fields) plus 'motor' (device converting energy into motion) yields a motor that operates by electromagnetic induction. This noun‑noun formation follows a standard, predictable pattern so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Induction motor is named after induction, which means a moving magnetic field makes electricity appear in another part. In this motor a spinning magnet in the outside part, the stator, makes electricity appear in the inner part, the rotor, so the rotor turns 'without wires' and that is why it is called an induction motor.
