Morphology
The meaning 'a condition in which a single object is perceived as two images' is directly derivable from combining 'double' (twofold) with 'vision' (seeing). This compound is transparently compositional and mirrors similar constructions in other languages, so a B1 learner knowing the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The term double vision comes from the clear picture of your sight showing one thing twice. Double means two and vision means sight, so 'double vision' means 'seeing two images of one object'.
