Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'virtual' (simulated, computer-generated) + 'reality' (what is real), yielding a simulated or computer-generated environment. This compound follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common logic and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Virtual reality combines virtual (something 'not truly real' but made to look or feel real) and reality (the real world). Imagine putting on special goggles and entering a computer-made place that 'feels like you are there', and that image explains why virtual reality means 'a computer-made world you can interact with'.
