Morphology

knowledge + transfer

The phrase 'knowledge transfer' is a straightforward composition of 'knowledge' (information) and 'transfer' (the act of moving or applying something), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to moving or applying information from one context or system to another. This noun+noun compound follows common compositional patterns found across languages, making its meaning directly derivable rather than idiomatic.

Etymology

Knowledge transfer comes from the idea of moving knowledge to someone else and the word transfer means 'to move', so imagine handing a book or a torch. That's why it means 'sharing or passing what you know'.
