Morphology
The phrase follows the common and productive compound pattern 'X theory' meaning 'a theory about X', so a learner who knows 'string' and 'theory' will plausibly infer it is a theoretical account concerning strings. Although the specialized scientific sense (one-dimensional vibrating entities in particle physics) is technical, the basic compositional meaning is clear and predictable cross-linguistically.
Etymology
String theory comes from the picture of tiny strings that vibrate like guitar strings, where each different vibration makes a different result; that's why the name means the idea that particles are really tiny 'strings' and their vibrations decide what kind of particle they are.
