Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'coconut' (the fruit with a liquid interior) and 'water' (drinkable liquid): it denotes the liquid found inside a coconut. This noun + noun/partitive composition is cross-linguistically common and follows a straightforward compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The name coconut water comes from the clear liquid found inside a coconut. People drink that water straight from the fruit to feel refreshed, so the name simply tells us it is a natural drink for 'hydration'.
