Morphology
The meaning 'a person with specialized knowledge in computers' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'computer' (the domain) with 'expert' (a person with deep knowledge). This noun–noun modifier + head pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Computer expert is a simple name: an expert in computers. Think of a person with tools and experience fixing computers; that's why it means 'a person with special knowledge and skills in computers'.
