Morphology
The meaning ('speech that promotes hatred or hostility') is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'hate' (hostile feeling) with 'speech' (oral or public expression), so a learner who knows both words can infer the basic sense. This compound pattern is cross-linguistically common, making the term immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner (though legal/technical nuances of the term may require further exposure).
Etymology
Hate speech comes from joining hate, meaning strong dislike, and speech, meaning words people say or write. It creates the image of using words to attack a group, so it means 'public words that promote hatred, violence, or discrimination'.
