Morphology
The compound's meaning is directly derivable from 'memory' (hardware storing data) plus 'cache' (a small/frequent-data store): together they denote a reserved, fast area of memory for buffering frequent data. This is a straightforward, compositional technical term found across languages and naming conventions, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely understand it.
Etymology
Memory cache comes from the idea of a small cache, a hidden 'store' of memory kept very close to the computer's processor. So, it means a small, fast place that holds often-used data to make the computer work more quickly.
