Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'end' modifies 'user' to indicate the final/ultimate person who uses a product, so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., Spanish 'usuario final') and follows regular noun-compound logic, making it immediately understandable to B1 learners.
Etymology
End user comes from a simple image: a product moves down a line until the last person, the end user, takes it and uses it. That's why it means 'the person who uses a product or service after it is made, not the people who build or sell it'.
