Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'frame' (an individual image) combined with 'rate' (frequency/speed) yields 'number of frames per second', so a learner who knows both words can infer the concept. This noun-noun technical compound follows common patterns across languages (e.g., tasa de fotogramas, fréquence d'images), making it readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Frame rate comes from the image of a flipbook or old film, where many separate frame 'pictures' are shown every second and the rate is how fast they appear. So, a higher frame rate means more 'pictures per second' and smoother motion.
