Morphology
The meaning 'soap shaped and sold as a solid bar' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bar' (a solid block) + 'soap' (washing substance). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common compounding patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound noun bar soap comes from the idea of a solid bar of soap you can hold in your hand. That's why bar soap means soap sold as a solid piece for washing the body or hands.
