Morphology
The noun phrase combines 'stellar' (relating to stars) with 'evolution' (gradual change), so a learner who knows both words can directly infer it refers to the process by which stars form and change over time. This compositional pattern (X + evolution = the change or development of X) is common and cross-linguistically transparent, making the meaning accessible to B1 learners.
Etymology
The term stellar evolution uses stellar ('star') and evolution ('gradual change') to show a star's life. So, it means the process by which a star forms, changes, and finally dies.
