Morphology
The meaning 'the study of computers and computational systems' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'computer' (an electronic device) with 'science' (a field of study), yielding the discipline concerned with computers. This noun–noun compounding pattern is productive and cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Computer science comes from joining computer and science: imagine a scientist watching a machine to find the rules of how it works. It simply means the 'study' of computers and how to make them solve problems, so today it refers to learning how computers are built and used.
