Morphology
The meaning 'an atom consisting of hydrogen' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hydrogen' (the element) with 'atom' (the smallest unit of an element). This straightforward noun+noun composition reflects a common scientific naming pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The name hydrogen atom comes from early chemistry: hydrogen was called a 'water maker' because burning it makes 'water', and atom means a very small, single part of an element. So a hydrogen atom is that very small part of hydrogen; it has one proton and one electron, which is why it is the simplest atom scientists use to explain how atoms work.
