Morphology
The meaning 'to experience anxiety or pressure' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'feel' (to experience) with 'stressed' (under emotional or practical strain). This verb + adjective pattern is a common, compositional construction found across languages and is readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Feel stressed may come from the image of someone under a heavy weight: you feel the load pressing on you and being stressed makes your body tight. That's why 'to feel stressed' means having strong 'pressure' or 'worry'.
