Morphology
assembly + program
The phrase is compositionally built from 'assembly' + 'program' and thus signals a program related to assembly, so there is a clear morphological relation. However, the specific sense here depends on a technical meaning of 'assembly' (assembly language) and the exact function (translating to machine code) is specialised knowledge not predictable by a typical B1 learner from the constituents alone.
Etymology
Assembly program: The noun assembly program comes from the word assembly, which means 'putting parts together', and program, a set of steps. Picture a small workshop that joins short, human-friendly code pieces into 'machine code' the computer can run, so the name matches the program's job.
