Morphology

create + verbally

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'create' (to produce) modified by the adverb 'verbally' (using spoken language), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes producing something through speech. This follows a common verb + adverb compositional pattern found across languages, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Create verbally gives the image of someone making something with only their voice: create ('to make') and verbally ('with words'). So when you create verbally, you 'produce' or 'invent' ideas by speaking instead of using tools or objects.
