Morphology

button + ad

The meaning is directly composed from 'button' (a small clickable icon) + 'ad' (advertisement), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this refers to a small clickable online advertisement. This noun+noun compounding and UI usage is common cross-linguistically, making the sense immediately transparent to learners.

Etymology

The term button ad comes from a small, clickable area on a webpage that looks like a real button you would press and ad meaning 'advertisement'. So, it now refers to a small online ad you can click, often placed at the bottom of a page.
