Morphology
The noun is transparently built from 'coding' (the activity of creating or applying codes/encodings) + 'system' (a set of rules or procedures), so the overall meaning — a system for coding/encoding information — follows directly from the parts. This compositional interpretation is cross-linguistically common and a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the general sense (though technical specifics like programming vs. encoding may need context).
Etymology
Coding system comes from the image of using signs to send messages; the part coding is making a code with signs like dots and dashes and system is the set of rules people follow, so the phrase now means 'a set of rules or signals used to stand for letters, numbers, or data'.
