Morphology
The words 'fair' (acceptable) and 'use' (usage) give a general clue — it suggests using something in an acceptable way — but the phrase refers to a specialized legal doctrine with specific conditions and exemptions that are not predictable from the constituents. A B1 learner who knows the component words would grasp a vague idea of 'acceptable use' but would not derive the precise legal meaning without prior exposure, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
The term fair use comes from the idea of a 'fair' or limited use of someone else's work: imagine a teacher showing a short part of a book in class instead of copying the whole book. That's why today fair use means you can use small parts of a work without permission for things like 'teaching', 'news', or 'comment'.
