Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'court' (a legal forum) + 'order' (an official directive) yields an official directive issued by a court. This noun-noun combination follows regular English compounding and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Court order comes from the simple image of a judge in a court giving a firm order, like a 'command' written down and meant for everyone to follow. So a court order is an official instruction from the court that tells someone to do something or to stop doing something.
