Morphology

correlation + matrix

The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun compound: 'correlation' denotes statistical relationships (coefficients) and 'matrix' denotes a rectangular arrangement or table, so together they denote a table of correlation coefficients. This composition follows standard technical naming patterns and would be understandable to a learner who already knows the constituent meanings.

Etymology

Correlation matrix is a table that looks like a square grid where each box shows how two variables move together. The word matrix gives the idea of a grid and correlation means 'how things are related', so the grid acts like a map of relationships and helps you see which variables are strongly or weakly linked.
