Morphology
The noun compound's meaning—sexually explicit material involving children—is directly derivable from combining 'child' (a minor) with 'pornography' (sexually explicit material). This is a compositional, cross-linguistically common modifier+noun construction, so a B1 learner who knows both words will grasp the basic meaning (though they might not infer legal or ethical details).
Etymology
Child pornography joins child, meaning a young person, and pornography, meaning 'sexual pictures or films', to make a clear image of sexual material that shows children. That's why the term refers to sexual content with children and is 'illegal' and a serious crime.
