Morphology
Pearson + product-moment + correlation + coefficient
The constituents 'correlation' and 'coefficient' transparently signal a statistical measure describing a relationship between variables, so a B1 learner who knows those words could guess the phrase refers to a numeric measure of association. However, 'Pearson' (a proper name) and the technical compound 'product-moment' are specialized labels that do not convey the specific meaning or linearity requirement and are not derivable from everyday word knowledge, so the full technical sense is not fully predictable.
Etymology
Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is named after Karl Pearson and is a single number that shows how two things 'move together'. The words product and moment give a picture of how it works: product means to multiply and moment means a measure, so the full name points to a number that tells 'how strongly and in which way two things are linked'.
