Morphology
The meaning 'rate at which angular position changes' is directly compositional from 'angular' (relating to angles) + 'velocity' (speed or rate of motion), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the technical sense. This is a productive noun-noun compound following regular English morphology and cross-linguistically transparent technical logic, making it readily understandable to B1 learners who know the parts.
Etymology
Angular velocity comes from the words angle (the size of a turn) and velocity ('speed'). It creates the image of how quickly something turns, so it means 'how fast' an object's direction or position changes as it rotates.
