Morphology
The meaning 'the people of Spain' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'Spanish' (denoting Spain or its people) with 'people' (a national or ethnic group). This demonym + people pattern is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Spanish people is a simple name for the people of Spain. The word Spanish may come from an old name for the land that some early visitors called 'land of rabbits', and people means the group who live there, so together it means 'the people of Spain'.
