Morphology
The meaning 'a wheel that belongs to or is fitted on a car' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'car' (motor vehicle) with 'wheel' (rotating part enabling motion). This noun+noun part-of relationship is a common compounding pattern in English and in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Car wheel comes from the simple picture of a round wheel attached to a car so the vehicle can roll and turn. That's why 'car wheel' means the round part on a car that makes it move and steer.
