Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'applied' (relating to practical uses) + 'mathematics' (the mathematical sciences), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to practical/real-world mathematics. The adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'matemáticas aplicadas'), making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Applied mathematics comes from the simple idea of 'applying' a tool: imagine using a wrench, but the tool is mathematics. That's why applied mathematics means using mathematics in science, engineering, business and other real work to 'solve problems'.
