Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning ('edible fat from cocoa beans') is directly and compositionally derived from 'cocoa' (source ingredient) + 'butter' (fat), so a learner who knows both words can infer it. This noun+noun compounding is a common, transparent formation across languages, making the MWE immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Cocoa butter comes from pressing roasted cocoa beans to squeeze out a pale, smooth 'fat' that looks like butter. Because it looks and feels like butter, the name stuck, and today cocoa butter means the edible 'fat' used in 'chocolate' and in creams for 'skin'.
