Morphology
The meaning 'a graphical representation of logical relationships or circuits' is directly derivable from combining 'logic' (rules or relations of reasoning/operation) with 'diagram' (a drawing showing parts/relationships). This noun–noun composition follows a regular, cross-linguistic pattern (’X diagram’ = a diagram of X) and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Logic diagram comes from the two words logic (rules or parts that make decisions) and diagram ('a simple drawing'). It is like a picture of boxes and arrows that shows how electronic or computer parts connect and decide, so it means 'a drawing that shows how a system works'.
