Morphology
The meaning 'a chart that uses rectangular bars to represent values' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bar' (the rectangular graphical element) plus 'graph' (a visual display of data). This is a conventional, cross-linguistically common naming pattern for chart types, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun bar graph comes from the picture of bars—simple rectangles of different heights or lengths placed side by side to show numbers. Each bar shows a value by its size, so you can quickly 'compare' amounts.
