Morphology
The meaning 'a person who has little or no ability to see' is directly and compositionally derived from 'blind' (without sight) + 'person' (human being). This adjective+noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistically common way to form descriptions, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Blind person creates a clear picture: someone who is blind, meaning they have little or no sight, so a person who 'cannot see'. That's why we use it today to mean someone with very poor or no sight.
