Morphology
The phrase 'stunning images' is a straightforward adjective + noun composition where 'stunning' (extremely attractive or impressive) directly modifies 'images' (pictures), so the combined meaning is fully predictable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows basic English adjective-noun semantics, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Stunning images comes from the verb stun, which means to surprise or shock someone. Imagine a picture that hits you with its beauty so you feel 'stunned', so we call it a stunning image to mean 'very striking' or 'very beautiful'.
