Morphology

meow + button

The meaning 'a button that produces a cat meow' is directly derivable from combining 'meow' (a cat sound) with 'button' (a pressable device). This literal noun-noun compound describes the button's function transparently and follows common device-labeling patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Meow button comes from children's toys and books that have a small button you press to hear a meow sound. So it means 'a button that makes the sound of a cat'.
