Morphology
The meaning 'bleeding within the brain' is directly derivable from combining 'cerebral' (relating to the brain) and 'hemorrhage' (profuse bleeding). This is a straightforward compositional medical compound, common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would be able to understand it.
Etymology
Cerebral hemorrhage comes from words that mean cerebral 'brain' and hemorrhage 'bleeding', so picture blood flowing inside the brain. That's why it means 'bleeding within the brain'.
