Morphology
The sense is directly derivable from combining 'editor' (a person who edits) with 'chief' (a leader) linked by 'in' to indicate status, so it denotes the top editorial leader. This composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'editor en jefe', French 'rédacteur en chef') and follows regular noun + status patterns, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Editor in chief comes from combining editor (the person who prepares and checks the words) and chief (the leader). Imagine one person at the top of a newspaper office checking every story before it is published — that's why the title means 'the person with the last say' about what appears in a paper or magazine.
