Morphology
The meaning ('ethical SEO practices') is largely built from 'white' (good/ethical) plus 'hat' (a label for a role or approach), so a learner who knows those constituents can infer a general sense of morally acceptable methods. However the color-as-moral-marker + 'hat' metaphor is somewhat domain-specific and metaphorical (especially in computing/SEO), so the precise technical sense may not be fully predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
White hat in SEO comes from the same movie picture: the white hat stood for the good person. So 'white hat' SEO means using honest, rule-following methods to improve a site's place in search results.
