Morphology

calm + personality

The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun combination where the meaning ('a personality that is calm') is directly derived from 'calm' (composed, unagitated) modifying 'personality' (stable set of traits). This compositional, literal pattern is a basic, cross-linguistically common construction and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

Calm personality comes from a simple image: think of a quiet, still sea where calm means no waves and personality is how someone usually behaves. So, it describes 'a person who stays peaceful and is not easily upset'.
