Morphology
The compound is transparently compositional: 'bit' (a unit of digital information) combined with 'rate' (amount per unit time) clearly yields 'number of bits per unit time.' Although it's a technical term used in computing and media contexts, the formation is regular and mirrored in many languages, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bit rate comes from the two simple words bit (a tiny piece of digital information) and rate (the 'speed' something moves). Imagine bits as tiny beads on a moving belt: the number that pass each second is the bit rate, so a higher bit rate means more data sent in the same time and usually better audio or video quality.
