Morphology
The meaning 'a room in which people change clothes' is directly compositional from 'dressing' (the act of getting dressed) + 'room' (an indoor space). This noun–noun combination follows a common, productive pattern in English and has clear equivalents in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Dressing room: The word dressing room comes from the simple image of dressing (putting on clothes) in a room before a show, game, or trying on outfits. That's why it now means 'a room for changing clothes'.
