Morphology
constructive + metabolism
The compound is compositionally built from 'constructive' (building/making) + 'metabolism' (biochemical processes), so a learner who interprets 'constructive' as ‘building’ can infer it refers to metabolism that builds complex substances. However, 'constructive' is commonly understood as 'helpful' at B1 and 'metabolism' is a broad technical term, so the precise scientific sense (anabolism — synthesis and storage of energy) may not be fully predictable without domain knowledge.
Etymology
Constructive metabolism gives a simple image: constructive means 'building' and metabolism is the body's changing of materials, like tiny workers using small parts to make bigger ones. So it means the way the body turns simple substances into tissues such as muscle and stores energy.
