Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'service' (assistance/support) with 'program' (software instructions): a program that provides support functions. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the two words (and basic computing context) will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Service program comes from the image of a quiet helper: service means help and program is a set of computer instructions, so a service program runs in the background to 'help' other software.
