Morphology
The phrase 'contemporary world' literally combines 'contemporary' (belonging to the present) and 'world' (the sphere of human affairs), so its meaning 'the present age/modern times' is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a transparent, compositional phrase and similar constructions exist in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Contemporary world comes from the simple idea that contemporary means 'living at the same time' and world means all people and places together. So, the phrase refers to the 'present' age — the people, ideas, and events that exist now.
