Morphology
polyunsaturated + fatty + acid
The phrase is compositionally built from identifiable parts: 'fatty acid' clearly signals an acid related to fats and 'polyunsaturated' signals having multiple unsaturated bonds. However, the chemical notion of 'unsaturated' and 'poly-' (multiple double/triple bonds) is technical and may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner even if they know the surface words, so the meaning is only partially inferable.
Etymology
Polyunsaturated fatty acid is a literal name: poly means 'many', unsaturated refers to having two or more 'double bonds' in the fat's chain, and fatty acid is the type of fat. So the phrase simply says it is a fat with many double bonds, which is why we use it for the healthy fats found in fish and some vegetable oils.
