Morphology
The meaning 'the period during which classes are held' is directly derivable from combining 'academic' (relating to schools or scholarship) with 'session' (a period or term when classes occur). This noun‑noun composition follows a standard, transparent pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily interpret; similar constructions exist in many languages, reinforcing its predictability.
Etymology
Academic session comes from the idea of a session as a time when people meet or 'sit' together to work, and academic shows it is about study; that's why academic session now means the 'period when classes are held'.
