Morphology

dynamic + loudspeaker

The compound combines 'dynamic' (relating to motion/force) with 'loudspeaker' (a device that converts electrical signals to sound), so a learner who knows both words can infer a speaker that produces sound by movement. However, 'dynamic' has multiple senses and the phrase denotes a specific technical design (moving diaphragm/voice coil), so the precise technical sense may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Dynamic loudspeaker was named for the way it makes sound: a light cone inside the speaker moves back and forth to push air and make sound. The word dynamic points to that 'movement' and loudspeaker shows it 'produces sound by moving', so the name means a speaker that makes sound by moving.
