Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term "action-adventure". You can think of it as "either or", rather than some weird neologism
That's actually not the case. Action adventure games are neither adventure games nor action games. Adventure games refer to text adventures. "action adventure" then is an adventure game, but that isn't turn/text based (hence "action"). Similarly, an "action game" is something like pong.
It's just an unfortunate name due to the weird history of game genres.
