Morphology

panel + heating

The meaning — a heating system that uses panels — is directly and compositionally derivable from 'panel' (a shaped part or flat unit) plus 'heating' (equipment that provides warmth). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic compositional pattern in technical vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

The noun panel heating comes from the simple image of flat panels in walls, floors, or ceilings that have warm pipes or wires inside and give out heat. That's why panel heating means 'a system that warms a room from built-in panels'.
