Morphology
The meaning 'an act involving sexual activity' is directly and compositionally derived from 'sex' (sexual activity) + 'act' (a deed/action). This is a literal noun-noun combination following transparent compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Sex act comes from joining sex, meaning sexual activity, and act, meaning an action. So it is a simple name for 'an action involving sexual activity' and is often used in law and in sexual education when people need a clear, neutral term.
