Morphology
The meaning 'a pen tip made of felt' is directly and transparently derived from 'felt' (the material) + 'tip' (the pointed end); a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a tip made of felt used for writing or drawing. This simple noun compound follows common composition patterns and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so it is immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Felt tip gets its name from the pen's soft felt tip, a small fuzzy point that soaks up ink and makes bright, steady lines. That's why it now means 'a pen with a tip made of felt'.
