Morphology
The phrase 'scale value' is a straightforward compound of 'scale' (a graduated measure) and 'value' (a numerical worth), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a number on a scale. Although used in technical contexts, the composition follows normal English noun–noun compounding and has clear parallels in other languages, making its meaning transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
The noun scale value comes from the simple image of a measuring scale with numbered marks and the value you read from it. So, scale value means the 'number' on a scale that shows a measurement or a place on that scale.
