Morphology
object-oriented + programming + language
The phrase is largely compositional: 'programming language' (a language for programming) combined with 'object-oriented' signals that the language is organized around 'objects'. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words can infer it is a kind of programming language focused on objects, but the specific technical implications (classes, inheritance, encapsulation) are specialized and not predictable from basic word knowledge alone.
Etymology
Object-oriented programming language comes from the idea of building programs out of small objects, like real things that keep their own information and can do their own jobs, and the language is oriented around these objects. So, it now means a language that helps you 'organize code' into these object parts to make programs easier to build and change.
