Morphology
The meaning 'the ability to identify faces' is directly and transparently derived from composing 'face' (the front part of a head) with 'recognition' (identification). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common composition patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase face recognition comes from the way people learn to know others by their face, for example by remembering eyes, nose, and smile, and recognition means knowing who someone is. That's why face recognition means 'the ability to identify familiar faces'.
