Morphology
The meaning 'a vegetable oil obtained from corn' is directly and transparently composed from 'corn' (maize) + 'oil' (cooking fat), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This compound pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'aceite de maíz', French 'huile de maïs', Chinese '玉米油'), reinforcing its predictability for learners.
Etymology
Corn oil is oil pressed from the inside part of corn kernels; picture squeezing many yellow kernels to get a pale, light oil. So, corn oil means 'a light cooking oil made from corn' and is used for frying and in food.
