Morphology
The components 'teaching' + 'fellow' make it clear the phrase refers to a person involved in teaching who holds some academic status, so a learner can infer a teacher-like role. However, 'fellow' is polysemous (could imply a senior academic, a society member, or a funded researcher), so the precise institutional meaning 'graduate student with teaching duties' is not fully predictable from the parts alone.
Etymology
Teaching fellow comes from older university life, where a fellow was a college member who lived and worked with professors and often helped run classes. So the name shows someone who both teaches and is a fellow, which is why today it means a 'graduate student' who teaches or helps lead classes.
