Morphology
The meaning 'a container made of glass used for holding liquids to be drunk from' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'drinking' (relating to the act of consuming liquids) with 'glass' (a drinking vessel). This noun-modifier composition is a common, literal pattern across languages and follows standard English noun-compound logic, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Drinking glass comes from the simple idea of joining drinking and glass: it is a glass made for drinking, a clear container you lift to your lips. So the name means 'a glass used to hold a drink'.
