Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'create' (to produce) with 'friction' (mechanical resistance): together they mean to produce resistance between surfaces. This verb+noun composition follows standard, compositional English patterns (and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically), so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Create friction comes from the image of two surfaces rubbing and making heat or resistance. So when people or groups 'rub' against each other in this way, they cause 'tension' or 'disagreement'.
