Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'body' (physical structure of a person or animal) with 'temperature' (level of heat), yielding the temperature of a living organism. This noun‑noun composition is a common, literal construction across languages and in medical contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Body temperature comes from the simple idea that the body gives off heat and temperature is how we measure how hot that heat is. Doctors and nurses measure this heat to see if someone is 'sick', so the phrase means the heat level of a living person.
