Morphology
The noun–noun compound is fully compositional: 'sense' (meaning) + 'tagger' (one that tags) yields a tool that tags meanings, so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts. Although it is technical (NLP jargon), the formation follows a common and transparent English pattern that a learner who knows both constituents will understand.
Etymology
Sense tagger comes from the simple image of someone putting name-tags on things: sense means the 'meaning' of a word and a tagger is someone who adds a tag. So a sense tagger is a computer program that adds small 'labels' to words in a text to show their 'meaning'.
