Morphology

acrobatic + feat

The noun phrase 'acrobatic feat' is directly built from 'acrobatic' (relating to agile physical movements) + 'feat' (a notable or skillful act), so its meaning as a difficult or impressive physical stunt is immediately inferable. This adjective+noun composition follows standard English patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Acrobatic feat paints a clear picture: a trained performer making a daring flip, balance, or jump high above the ground. Here acrobatic shows the gymnastic skill and feat shows a brave, difficult achievement, so the phrase means 'a difficult or impressive physical stunt'.
