Morphology
ovo-lacto + vegetarianism
The overall meaning is compositionally built from 'vegetarianism' (abstaining from meat) plus the bound combining form 'ovo‑lacto' meaning eggs (ovo-) and milk/dairy (lacto-). However, 'ovo‑lacto' is a specialized, Latin-derived bound form rather than two independent everyday words, so while the sense is logically derivable for learners who recognize those morphemes, it is not fully transparent to a typical B1 learner without that morphological knowledge.
Etymology
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism comes from two parts: ovo meaning 'egg' and lacto meaning 'milk', so it names a vegetarian diet that includes eggs and dairy but not meat, fish, or poultry.
