Morphology
The meaning 'the speed at which something increases' is directly compositional from 'growth' (increase) and 'rate' (speed/measure per unit), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This noun+noun measurement pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'tasa de crecimiento'), reinforcing its transparency.
Etymology
Growth rate comes from a simple image: people would mark a plant and measure how much growth happens in a set time to find the rate, or speed. So, growth rate means the 'speed at which something increases'.
