Morphology
The meaning 'food that has had most of its water removed' is directly derivable from combining 'dehydrated' (preserved by removing moisture) with 'food' (an edible substance). This adjective+noun composition follows a transparent, compositional pattern with clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound dehydrated food comes from the simple idea of drying food: the part dehydrated means most water is 'removed' from the food. That's why the name means food that is dry, light and 'preserved', so it lasts longer and is easy to carry.
