Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'cardiovascular' specifies relating to the heart and blood circulation and 'system' denotes an ensemble of organs, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the organ network for circulating blood. This is a transparent technical compound with similar constructions across languages, making the overall meaning predictable to learners familiar with the constituents.
Etymology
Cardiovascular system comes from two parts: cardio meaning 'heart' and vascular meaning 'vessels' or 'pipes' that carry 'blood'. Picture the heart pushing blood through those pipes, and you can see why the term means the body's system for moving and circulating 'blood'.
