Morphology

dynamic + speaker

The phrase is compositionally clear: 'dynamic' (energetic, forceful) + 'speaker' (loudspeaker) yields a speaker characterized by dynamic or powerful sound. While the technical mechanism (voice coil, diaphragm) is specialized, a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the general meaning without prior exposure.

Etymology

The compound dynamic speaker is named because dynamic means 'moving' and the speaker makes sound by moving a light cone back and forth. So, the name shows it 'makes sound' through movement.
