Morphology
The noun phrase combines 'cognitive' (relating to mental processes) and 'science' (a field of study), so a learner who knows both constituents can readily infer it refers to the scientific study of cognition and mental processes. The composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common nominal compound with transparent semantics, making it accessible to B1 learners who know the component words.
Etymology
The term cognitive science joins cognitive (about the 'mind' and 'thinking') and science (a careful study). Imagine people from psychology, computer experts, language experts and brain researchers working together like detectives to build a model of how the 'mind' works. So, the phrase means the scientific study of the mind today.
