Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'cognitive' (relating to mental processes) modifies 'neuroscience' (the study of the nervous system), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the study of neural bases of cognition. This compound structure is common cross-linguistically, increasing predictability for learners.
Etymology
Cognitive neuroscience comes from joining cognitive, meaning the 'mind' or 'thinking', and neuroscience, meaning the study of the 'brain' and nerves. Picture scientists watching the brain while a person thinks, so the phrase means the study of how the brain makes 'thinking' and 'behaviour' happen.
