Morphology
The meaning 'an arrangement of two or more lenses used together' is directly derivable from combining 'lens' (a device that focuses or directs light) with 'system' (a collection of interacting components); a learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to a set or arrangement of lenses. This noun–noun compounding is a common, literal composition pattern found across languages, making the expression immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
The term lens system paints a simple image: a lens bends light and a system is a group working together. That's why it means a group of lenses that 'focus' light to make a clear 'image'.
