Morphology
Both constituent words explicitly denote a formal investiture event—'coronation' (the act of crowning a monarch) and 'ceremony' (a formal event)—so the combined phrase simply names that formal crowning event. This composition is directly derivable from the parts and follows common cross-linguistic patterns of noun + noun or noun + modifier compounds, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
The phrase coronation ceremony comes from the old public act of placing a crown on a new king or queen during a special ceremony called a coronation. Because the crown is put on in front of people and important guests, the phrase now means 'a formal event when a king or queen is officially crowned'.
