Morphology
The meaning 'the physical form or structure of a female human being' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'female' (pertaining to sex that bears offspring) with 'body' (physical structure). This compositional, literal noun phrase follows a common cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Female body combines female, meaning a 'woman', and body, meaning the physical shape. Imagine a statue or a dress made to match that shape, and that's why it means the physical form of a 'woman'.
