Morphology

milieu + control

The meaning is a straightforward composition of 'milieu' (surroundings/environment) and 'control' (management or direction), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to managing an environment to influence behaviour. The noun+noun conceptual pattern (control of the environment) is compositional and cross-linguistically common, making the expression transparent to learners who know the constituents.

Etymology

Milieu control gives a clear picture: arranging the milieu, the people's 'surroundings', and using control so they act in a certain way. So, it means 'managing an environment to influence how people behave'.
