Morphology
object-oriented + database + management + system
The phrase is fully compositional: 'object-oriented' (designed around objects) modifies 'database', and 'database management system' is a standard compound meaning 'a system that manages a database', so the overall meaning — a system for managing databases that uses object-oriented design — can be derived from the parts. This construction is regular and has clear parallels in many languages; although technical, a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Object-oriented database management system uses a simple image: imagine a store where each item is a small box (an object) that holds its data and its rules, and a database management system keeps all the boxes organized. So it means 'a system that stores and manages data as objects', which makes complex data easier to work with.
