Morphology
The phrase is a direct composition: 'brainstorming' denotes generating ideas and 'session' denotes a meeting or scheduled time, so together they clearly mean a meeting for idea generation. This follows common English noun-combination patterns and similar expressions exist cross-linguistically, making it readily inferable for a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Brainstorming session The phrase brainstorming session comes from the image of a brain being hit by a storm of ideas—fast, bright thoughts like lightning. In such a meeting people share many ideas freely, so it now means a meeting to 'generate ideas' without judging them.
