Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'multidimensional' (having more than one dimension) modifies 'language' (a system), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a language organized in multiple dimensions. Although used as a technical term in programming, the sense follows ordinary compositional logic and is therefore readily understandable to learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
The term multidimensional language comes from the image of code written on a grid instead of a single line. In a grid, information goes in different 'directions' like rows and columns, so the phrase now means a language where expressions are arranged in more than one 'direction' rather than only one.
