Morphology
moving-coil + loudspeaker
The compound is fully compositional: a 'moving coil' is literally a coil that moves and 'loudspeaker' is a device that converts electrical signals to sound, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a speaker using a moving coil. This is a straightforward technical descriptor following regular English compounding patterns and has clear parallels in other languages, making it immediately understandable from its parts.
Etymology
Moving-coil loudspeaker gets its name from the simple action inside: a small coil moves near a magnet and pushes a thin cone to make the air vibrate and produce sound. So the name 'moving-coil' simply describes the part that moves to create the loudspeaker's sound.
