Morphology
App + script
The meaning is directly derivable from 'app' (application) + 'script' (a short program that automates actions): a script for applications that automates tasks. Even if it is a product name (Google Apps Script), the compound's composition transparently signals a program for apps, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand the sense.
Etymology
App Script comes from the idea of a short set of instructions called a script that tells an app what to do. So, an App Script is a small program that helps an app 'do tasks automatically'.
