Morphology
The phrase straightforwardly combines 'blood' (the fluid in vessels) with 'coagulation' (the process of liquid turning into a thickened or semisolid mass), so its meaning — blood forming a clot — is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a common biomedical concept and follows transparent compositional logic, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it.
Etymology
Blood coagulation shows a simple image: liquid blood becoming thick and sticking together to form a mass. That's why it means 'forming a clot' or 'stopping bleeding'.
