Morphology
The noun is directly compositional: 'flash' (to show briefly/quickly) + 'card' (a small rectangular piece of paper) yields a card that is shown quickly as a learning aid, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning. This is a common, cross-linguistic compounding pattern in educational contexts and follows standard English noun-noun composition, making it readily comprehensible.
Etymology
The noun flash card comes from the idea of a quick flash of a small card showing a word or picture to students. That sudden, short show helps people 'memorize' things, so a flash card means a small card used for quick learning.
