Morphology

correlation + table

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'correlation' (an association between variables) and 'table' (information arranged in rows and columns): together they denote a table that displays associations between variables. This noun+noun combination follows a common and transparent compounding pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily understand it.

Etymology

Correlation table comes from a simple idea: a table is a grid of boxes and correlation means a link between two things. When you look at the boxes you can see which pairs appear together, so the correlation table shows the 'relationship' between two variables.
