Morphology
The meaning 'a blister filled with blood' is directly and transparently composed from 'blood' (the red fluid) modifying 'blister' (a fluid-filled bubble on the skin). This simple noun–modifier compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern with no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Blood blister is the name for a small raised bump where blister means a little bubble on the skin and blood tells you that the bubble is filled with blood after a pinch or hard rub. So, the name means 'a blister filled with blood' and helps you remember it is often painful.
