Morphology
ion-exchange + resin
The term is compositionally built: 'resin' denotes a polymeric/organic substance and 'ion-exchange' literally describes the property of exchanging ions, so the phrase denotes a resin that exchanges ions with a solution. Although technical, the meaning follows straightforward noun–noun composition and would be inferable to a learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Ion-exchange resin names a man-made material that works like tiny beads that 'swap' charged particles. The resin holds certain ions and lets others go, so the exchange of ions cleans water or separates chemicals, which is why the name tells you what it does today.
