Morphology
The meaning 'a person who belongs to a committee' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'committee' (a group formed to address specific matters) with 'member' (a person in a group). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Committee member comes from a simple image: a committee is a small group chosen to do a job and a member is someone who belongs to that group. So a committee member is literally a person who 'belongs' to a committee and 'takes part' in its meetings and decisions.
