Morphology

tag + program

The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'tagging' = the act of applying tags/labels and 'program' = software, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'a program that tags' (i.e., software for assigning labels). This is a common, literal compound pattern found across languages, making the overall meaning transparent to learners.

Etymology

Tagging program comes from the idea of a tag — a small label used to describe an item. Think of a librarian putting keywords on photos or videos so you can 'find' and 'organize' them later; the program does this automatically by adding those 'keywords'.
