Morphology
The compound meaning is directly derivable from 'data' (information) + 'stream' (a steady flow): it describes information moving in a continuous flow. This metaphoric extension of 'stream' to informational flow is common cross-linguistically and follows a transparent compositional pattern a B1 learner who knows both words can infer.
Etymology
The phrase data stream gives the picture of information moving like a river: data are small parts and a stream is a steady flow. That's why the term means 'a continuous flow of digital information' that is sent or handled right away.
