Morphology
The phrase composes transparently from 'aspect' (a feature or dimension) and 'ratio' (a numeric relation), so a learner can infer it denotes a proportion relating to some feature. However, the conventional, technical sense 'the width:height proportion of an image/display' is domain-specific and not fully predictable from the constituents without exposure, though many languages use similar calques which gives it partial recognizability.
Etymology
Aspect ratio describes how an image's width compares with its height—imagine a rectangle that is very wide like a cinema screen or more square. So, 'aspect ratio' tells you the picture's 'shape' and helps you know if an image will fit a screen or become stretched.
