Morphology
The meaning of 'anarchic lifestyle' is directly compositional: 'anarchic' (characterized by chaos or absence of authority) modifies 'lifestyle' (way of living), so a learner who knows both words can infer a way of living without recognized authority. This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and parallels constructions in many languages, so it should be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Anarchic lifestyle paints a clear picture: anarchic means no leaders and lifestyle means the way people live, so imagine a small group living together with no rules, no set times, and everyone doing what they want. That's why it means 'a way of living without rules or leaders'.
