Morphology
The meaning 'the latest time to vacate a hotel room' is directly derived from combining 'checkout' (the act or deadline for leaving) with 'time' (a point or moment). The compound follows a common and transparent English pattern (X + time = the time X happens), which is cross-linguistically regular and thus accessible to a B1 learner who knows the parts.
Etymology
Checkout time comes from hotels, where guests must check out at a set time by giving their keys and paying the bill. So it means the latest time you must 'leave' your room.
