Morphology
The meaning 'the round, flat form of a disk' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'disk' (a thin, round plate) with 'shape' (the visible form), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This is a regular noun–noun compounding pattern found across languages and follows standard English composition, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Disk shape comes from the simple picture of a flat, round disk, like a coin or a plate, and shape means form. So the phrase describes something that has the 'round, flat form' of a disk.
