Morphology

reusable + program

The meaning of 'reusable program' is directly and predictably derived from 'reusable' (can be used more than once) modifying 'program' (a set of computer instructions). This adjective+noun composition follows regular English word-formation and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

The noun reusable program comes from the image of a tool you set up once and then use again and again. The word reusable means it can be used many times and program is a computer tool, so it means 'a program you load once and run many times'.
