Morphology
pure + binary + numeration + system
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'binary' specifies the digit set (0 and 1), 'numeration' refers to numbering/counting, and 'system' signals a positional scheme, while 'pure' restricts it to only binary digits. A learner who knows these constituents can readily infer it denotes a numbering system that uses exclusively base‑2 digits.
Etymology
Pure binary numeration system paints a simple picture: many tiny switches that are either 0 or 1, like 'off' or 'on'. So, it means a number system that uses only those two digits, and that's how computers store numbers and information.
