Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'vice-presidential' (pertaining to the vice president) with 'term' (a period in office); the adjective+noun composition straightforwardly yields 'the period a vice president holds office.' This is a common, compositional pattern found across languages and in political vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The noun vice-presidential term comes from two parts: vice meaning 'in place of' and term meaning a fixed time in office. So it creates the image of someone who stands 'in place of' the president for a set time, and it means 'the period of time during which a vice president holds office'.
