Morphology

crit + session

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'crit' (an organized critique) with 'session' (a scheduled meeting), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a meeting for critique/feedback. Although 'crit' is a colloquial shortening of 'critique,' the semantic composition is straightforward and predictable.

Etymology

Crit session comes from art and design schools where crit is short for the word 'critique' and students lay out their work for everyone to look at. That's why a crit session (or crit and session) means a meeting where people talk about work and give 'feedback'.
