Morphology

manipulative + electronic + deception

Each component contributes directly to the overall meaning: 'deception' (deliberate false belief) modified by 'electronic' (using electronic technology) and 'manipulative' (intended to influence or control). A B1 learner who knows those constituent words can infer this refers to deceptive actions using electronic means to manipulate or mislead, even if technical details about signal alteration are specialized.

Etymology

Manipulative electronic deception creates a simple picture: manipulative means changing, electronic means electronic signals, and deception means tricking someone, so imagine sending false signals to a radar to hide a real ship. That's why it means 'to hide or alter electronic signals in order to mislead an enemy or prevent the enemy from detecting sensitive operations'.
