Morphology
The noun phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'generative' = capable of producing and 'learning' = the process/field of acquiring/representing knowledge, so it literally denotes learning that generates or produces data/representations. While deeper technical details (e.g., modelling joint distributions or sampling) require ML background, the core meaning is transparently derived from the constituents and would be understandable to a learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Generative learning in computers is like a chef who learns a recipe and then cooks new dishes; a computer 'model' that learns to generate data can make new, realistic examples, so it 'creates' useful samples for training and testing.
