Morphology
The meaning 'art derived from popular culture' is largely inferable from combining 'pop' (popular/pop culture) with 'art', so learners who interpret 'pop' as 'popular' can derive the MWE. However, because 'pop' is also commonly known as a music genre, some B1 learners might misinterpret it as art related specifically to pop music rather than the broader popular-mass-culture sense, making the relation only partially predictable.
Etymology
Pop Art gets its name from the word Pop, which comes from 'popular', and the word Art. Artists copied images from everyday 'popular culture' such as ads, comics and product labels into paintings and prints, so Pop Art means art made from the familiar images many people see every day.
