Morphology

spray + extraction + machine

The phrase is transparently compositional: a 'spray extraction machine' is literally a machine that performs spray extraction, and that meaning can be built directly from 'spray' + 'extraction' + 'machine'. Although somewhat technical, the noun-noun composition follows common descriptive patterns and a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer its function.

Etymology

Spray extraction machine is named for what it does: it sprays water and soap into the fabric and then extracts the dirty water back out. So, the name helps you picture a machine that 'deep cleans' carpets and upholstery.
