Morphology
fast-paced + world
The adjective 'fast-paced' is transparently built from 'fast' (quick) + 'paced' (having a pace), and combined with 'world' yields an environment characterized by rapid activity; the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. This adjective–noun compounding follows standard compositional patterns (common across languages), so a B1 learner who knows the parts should be able to understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase fast-paced world creates a simple picture: a fast pace in a world, like a busy city where people, traffic and news move quickly. That's why it means a place with 'rapid activity' and 'constant change'.
