Morphology

next-level = next + level (transparent) = next + level

The meaning 'of a higher or following stage' is directly derived from 'next' + 'level' and is easily inferred by learners who know both words.

Etymology

Next-level joins the simple words next ('coming after') and level ('stage' or 'height'), like moving up to a higher level in a game, and creates a strong image of rising above the usual. So something called next-level means it is beyond the normal stage and is much better or more advanced than before.
