Morphology
The meaning 'communication via paranormal abilities' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'psychic' (relating to paranormal powers) with 'communication' (exchange of information). This noun–noun composition follows a common English pattern where the first word specifies the type of communication, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Psychic communication paints a picture of two minds 'talking' without words or touch, with psychic pointing to the mind and communication meaning the sending of messages. That's why it means 'communication' that happens by the mind or by unusual ways rather than through the usual senses.
