Morphology
The meaning 'a chart you flip through' is directly and transparently built from 'flip' (to turn over) + 'chart' (a visual display); the compound denotes a chart that is flipped through. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically accessible, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Flip chart comes from a simple picture: a large chart made of paper sheets fixed at the top so you can flip each sheet over to show the next idea. People used it in meetings and classrooms, so the name now means a big pad of paper used to 'present' information.
