Morphology
The meaning is compositionally built from 'continuous' (without interruption) + 'integration' (combining/merging), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to ongoing or frequent merging. Although it is a technical software term, the logic is transparent and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, making it accessible to B1 learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
Continuous integration comes from the idea of developers always putting small pieces of code together: continuous means 'always' and integration means 'joining parts'. That's why the term now means 'often merging code into a shared place and running tests to find problems early'.
