Morphology
fat-soluble + vitamin
The meaning 'a vitamin that dissolves in fats or oils' is directly and transparently derived from the constituents: 'fat' + 'soluble' (able to dissolve in fat) + 'vitamin'. This compositional, technical pattern is regular and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fat-soluble vitamin comes from the simple image that these vitamins dissolve in fat and are soluble in oils rather than water. Because the body can keep them in fat tissue, they can be 'stored' and 'build up', which is why taking too much can cause problems.
