Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'mesh' denotes an interlinked/interwoven structure and 'topology' denotes the configuration or layout of a network, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer a layout where elements are interconnected. Although used in a technical context, the meaning follows normal English compounding patterns and is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Mesh topology comes from the picture of a mesh, a net made of many crossing threads, and topology meaning the layout of a network. Because the net's threads touch many points, this image explains why in a mesh topology every device is 'directly connected' to every other device.
