Morphology
The meaning 'the process by which an embryo forms and develops' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'embryonic' (relating to an embryo) with 'development' (growth or progression). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Embryonic development names the early growth of an embryo. Imagine a tiny cell after an egg and sperm join that divides and changes step by step into a small baby — that step-by-step change is the development, so the term means 'the process by which an embryo forms and grows'.
