Morphology
The meaning 'a program's original instructions' is directly compositional from 'source' (origin) + 'code' (program instructions); a learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to the original/originating code. This compound is common in technical contexts and has close equivalents in many languages (e.g. Spanish 'código fuente'), so it is transparent to B1 learners familiar with the constituents.
Etymology
Source code comes from the idea of a source meaning 'the original' and a code meaning 'a set of instructions'. Think of it as a written recipe for a program that people read and the computer then turns into actions, so source code means the human-written instructions that make software.
