Morphology

appointment + calendar

The meaning is directly compositional: a calendar (or schedule) specifically for appointments, which follows a transparent noun+noun compounding pattern. This is a common and cross-linguistically regular way to label tools for organizing meetings, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Appointment calendar comes from putting together appointment, a planned meeting, and calendar, the chart of days; it is a tool where you write and check meeting times, and that's why it means 'a book or digital tool used to record and organize appointments'.
