Morphology
The meaning 'milk that has been heated to kill germs' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pasteurized' (heated to prevent spoilage) + 'milk' (the liquid), so the overall sense follows immediately from the constituents. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically paralleled term (e.g., Spanish 'pasteurizado', French 'pasteurisé'), making it accessible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Pasteurized milk is named after the scientist Louis Pasteur, who discovered that gently heating liquids could kill harmful germs. That's why pasteurized milk means milk that has been treated with heat to make it 'safer' and 'last longer'.
