Morphology
The meaning 'the sequence of operations performed on data' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'data' (information) combined with 'processing' (a series of systematic actions), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the basic sense. This noun–noun/compound pattern is transparent and cross‑linguistically common, making the overall concept immediately comprehensible even if technical specifics require domain knowledge.
Etymology
The term data processing creates a simple picture: think of data as raw ingredients or messy facts and processing as the cooking or sorting steps that clean, change, and organize them. So today data processing means the steps a computer takes to turn those raw facts into useful 'information'.
