Morphology

snapshot + program

The meaning 'a program that records or displays system states at specific moments' is directly derivable from 'snapshot' (a point-in-time copy/state) combined with 'program' (software), i.e. a program that makes or uses snapshots. Although somewhat technical, this is a straightforward compositional compound that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.

Etymology

Snapshot program comes from a simple idea: a snapshot is a quick photograph and a program is a computer tool. So a snapshot program takes a picture of the computer's 'state' at one moment, which helps people study and fix problems.
