Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'family' (people related by blood, marriage, or adoption) combined with 'relationship' (a connection) yields the clear sense 'connection between relatives'. This is a common noun-noun composition found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Family relationship comes from the simple image of people tied together: family means people connected by birth or marriage, and relationship is the tie that joins them. So, it refers to the legal or emotional 'connection' between people who are 'related' by blood, marriage, or adoption.
