Morphology
The meaning 'water into which carbon dioxide has been dissolved, making it fizzy' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'carbonated' (fizzy due to CO2) with 'water' (drinking H₂O). This is a regular adjective + noun composition found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Carbonated water comes from the simple idea of making water full of tiny bubbles by adding a gas called carbon dioxide, so carbonated means 'made fizzy'. That's why the name refers to plain water turned into a 'fizzy' drink used for drinking or as a mixer.
