Morphology
The adjective 'phonetic' (pertaining to speech sounds) combined with 'transcription' (a written record) yields a direct, compositional meaning: a written representation of speech sounds. This adjective–noun pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., transcripción fonética) and would be immediately clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Phonetic transcription is like writing a picture of how speech sounds: phonetic means 'sound' and transcription means 'writing down'. It shows each small 'sound' of a word so you can see the exact 'pronunciation'.
