Morphology

technical + expertise

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'technical' (relating to specialized knowledge) with 'expertise' (advanced skill or knowledge), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes skill in technical matters. This adjective+noun composition is a common, transparent pattern across languages and follows ordinary English modification rules, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Technical expertise brings together technical, about machines, tools or systems, and expertise, meaning deep skill. Picture a worker who knows a machine so well they can fix any problem, and that image explains why the phrase means 'skill or knowledge in a specific technical field'.
