Morphology
part-of-speech + tagger
The compound is fully compositional: 'part-of-speech' denotes a grammatical category and 'tagger' denotes an agent or tool that assigns tags, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it is a tool that labels words with their parts of speech. This follows a regular noun+noun compound pattern common cross-linguistically, so the meaning is directly derivable for learners familiar with the component words.
Etymology
The term part-of-speech tagger comes from the simple image of someone putting small labels on each word: the part-of-speech, like 'noun' or 'verb', and the tagger who 'tags' them. So, the name means a computer program that labels each word's role in a sentence.
