Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'monoclonal' specifies origin from a single clone and 'antibody' is an immune protein, so a learner who knows both terms can infer it means antibodies produced by one clone (identical molecules). This is a regular modifier+noun technical compound, not idiomatic, and follows transparent cross-linguistic scientific naming patterns.
Etymology
Monoclonal antibody comes from lab work where scientists make many exactly the same antibodies from a single cell. The word parts mono ('one') and clonal ('from one clone') show that every molecule is the same, so it can find or attack one exact target in the body.
