Morphology
The meaning is compositionally derived: 'master' (a master's degree/holder) combined with 'of' + 'science' (a field) directly indicates a postgraduate degree in the sciences. The 'Master of X' construction is common across languages and follows a standard noun-of-field pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Master of Science comes from old universities where a master was someone who could 'teach' and had enough skill, and science meant the 'study' of subjects like biology or physics. So the degree shows a person has done more study and has good knowledge in science.
