Morphology
Although the words 'support', 'vector', and 'network' are individually transparent, the phrase is a specialized machine‑learning term whose intended sense (a classifier that constructs hyperplanes in high‑dimensional space) is technical and not predictable from the everyday meanings of the components. A B1 learner who knows the literal senses of the constituents would be unlikely to infer this specific technical meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Support vector network comes from a simple image: special points called vectors act like posts that support an invisible wall which separates two groups of data, and the word network shows many posts working together. So the name means a system that uses these key points to 'decide' which group new data belongs to.
