Morphology
post-kinetic + effect
The phrase is compositionally built from 'post-' (after) + 'kinetic' (relating to motion) + 'effect' (a change produced by an event), so the meaning 'an effect occurring after motion or activity' is directly derivable from the constituents. Although somewhat technical, the morphology is regular and follows common English formation patterns, making it transparent to a learner who knows the component meanings.
Etymology
Post-kinetic effect comes from the parts post, which means 'after', and kinetic, which means 'movement'. Imagine a runner who stops and then feels tired or different in the muscles; those are the effects that happen after movement, so the phrase means 'an effect after movement'.
