Morphology
The meaning 'a chart represented by bars' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'bar' (a bar-shaped element) + 'chart' (a visual display of data); a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the concept. This is a regular noun compound pattern seen cross-linguistically, so the relation is predictable and transparent.
Etymology
Bar chart comes from the simple picture of long bars: bar means the long rectangles and chart is a picture that shows numbers. Each bar's length shows a value, so the image helps you 'compare' different amounts.
