Morphology
The compound 'memory loss' literally combines 'memory' (stored information) with 'loss' (deprivation), so its basic meaning — loss of memory — is directly derivable from the constituents. While the AI/technical nuance (catastrophic forgetting) is domain-specific, the general sense is transparent to learners who know both words.
Etymology
Memory loss paints a simple picture: imagine a shelf of photos (memory) where some pictures fall off and are gone (loss). So it means 'being unable to remember' or having gaps in what you recall.
