Morphology
The meaning ‘frequent or ongoing updates’ is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'constant' (continuous/ongoing) with 'update' (new changes or versions). Although 'constant' can sometimes mean 'unchanging' in isolation, its use with 'update(s)' is a standard collocational pattern meaning recurring changes, a logic that is cross-linguistically common and therefore accessible to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Constant update comes from the picture of something kept new all the time: constant means 'always' and update means 'to make new'. That's why it means software or a system that is changed or improved very often.
