Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'spatial' (relating to space) and 'property' (a feature or attribute), so its meaning — a feature that pertains to space — is directly derivable from the parts. This is a standard, cross-linguistically common noun + adjective composition and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Spatial property comes from two simple ideas: spatial means about 'space' and property means a 'feature' of something. Imagine a room where the size, shape, or position of a table decides how it fits — those are the spatial properties, so the phrase means a feature that depends on how something takes up or is placed in 'space'.
