Morphology
high-level + language
The phrase is compositionally built from 'high' + 'level' and a learner can infer a sense of greater abstraction or a higher degree, so they may guess it contrasts with 'low-level'. However, connecting that abstraction to the specific technical idea that the language is easier for humans and abstracts away hardware is domain-specific and not fully predictable from the words alone. Because it is partly derivable but requires programming knowledge or exposure to the 'high‑level vs low‑level' distinction, it is best classified as semi-transparent.
Etymology
The term high-level language comes from the image of being high-level above the small parts so you can see the whole picture, like looking down from a hill. So a high-level language is a 'language' that hides 'computer parts' and is 'easier for people to read and write'.
