Morphology
The noun is transparently compositional: it denotes a loop (closed path or cycle) in which feedback (output returned to input) occurs, so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. Although the term is often used in technical contexts, the logic of ‘feedback’ + ‘loop’ is straightforward and is likely comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Feedback loop comes from a simple image: imagine cooking soup, tasting it, then adding salt and tasting again, where your tasting is the feedback and the repeat is the loop. So, a feedback loop is when part of the 'output' is sent back to the 'input' to control or change what happens.
