Morphology
The meaning 'a drug or substance that reduces the desire to eat' is directly and transparently built from 'appetite' (desire to eat) plus 'suppressant' (something that suppresses or reduces). This noun–noun composition follows a regular agent/result pattern and has clear parallels in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Appetite suppressant gives a simple picture: appetite is the desire to eat and a suppressant is something that 'pushes down' that desire. So the phrase means a medicine or product that helps 'reduce' hunger.
