Morphology
The meaning 'a word pronounced aloud' is directly and compositionally derived from 'spoken' (conveyed verbally) + 'word' (a distinct meaningful unit). This straightforward adjective+noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun spoken word comes from the idea of a word that is spoken, that is, 'said out loud'. Imagine a word leaving someone's mouth as a sound, so it means 'a word pronounced aloud' today.
