Morphology
The meaning 'a tent that quickly pops open' is directly derivable from 'pop' (to snap or open suddenly) + 'tent' (a collapsible shelter); the compound follows a clear adjective-noun composition where the first element describes how the tent behaves. This is a productive, cross-linguistically common naming pattern (e.g., 'pop-up tent'), so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Pop tent comes from the way the tent literally pops open: its folded frame springs into shape when released, so it can be 'quickly set up'.
