Morphology
The meaning is directly compositionally derived from the constituents: 'basal' (basic/relating to baseline), 'metabolic' (relating to metabolism) and 'rate' (a measured speed/amount), so together they denote the baseline speed of metabolic processes. This technical term is compositional and has clear cognates in many languages, so a learner who knows the individual words can infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Basal metabolic rate combines three words: basal, which means 'basic' or 'at the base', metabolic, which comes from 'metabolism' meaning the body's use of energy, and rate, meaning speed. Picture a car engine idling while the car is parked; this shows how much fuel it uses just to stay on, so basal metabolic rate is the energy your body uses 'at rest' to keep you alive.
