Morphology
rapid + eye + movement + sleep
The phrase is directly compositional: it denotes a sleep stage characterized by rapid movement of the eyes, which a learner can infer from 'rapid' + 'eye' + 'movement' + 'sleep'. Although it is a technical term (often shortened to REM), the meaning follows straightforwardly from the constituents and is cross-linguistically analyzable, so a B1 learner who knows the component words can understand it.
Etymology
The name rapid eye movement sleep comes from the quick movement of the eye under closed lids while the brain is active. This is when most 'dreaming' happens, so the name tells you it is the dream stage.
