Morphology
The meaning 'the East Slavic language spoken in Ukraine' is directly and compositionally derived from 'Ukrainian' (relating to Ukraine) + 'language' (a named system of speech). This demonym + language noun pattern is cross-linguistically regular and immediately transparent to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Ukrainian language takes its name from the country 'Ukraine', a word that long ago meant 'borderland' or 'edge of the country'. So Ukrainian + language literally means 'the language of Ukraine', and today it refers to the language spoken mainly in Ukraine and by Ukrainian communities around the world.
