Morphology

product + launch

The meaning 'the act or event of introducing a new product' is directly derivable from combining 'product' (the item) with 'launch' (to initiate/roll out). This straightforward compositional pattern is common in business contexts and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

The phrase product launch uses a simple image: a new product is like a ship or rocket and launch means to send it out into the world. So a product launch is the planned event when a company 'sends' the product to the market to get attention and sales.
