Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'input' (data fed into a system) combined with 'file' (a collection of documents) yields a file that contains data to be processed. This follows a common noun–noun compounding pattern and has clear cross‑linguistic equivalents in computing (e.g. Spanish 'archivo de entrada'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Input file comes from early computers where people fed stacks of punched cards or tapes into a machine to give it data. The word input means 'data given in' and file means a stored set of items, so an input file is a file that gives data for a program 'to be processed'.
