Morphology
The meaning 'an egg that has been joined with a sperm cell' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fertilize' (to join a male cell with an egg) plus 'egg'; the participial form 'fertilized' simply marks the egg's state. This structure is morphologically transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Fertilized egg is a simple name: the egg has been fertilized, meaning a sperm 'joins' it and the tiny cell begins to grow. So it means an egg that has been joined with a sperm and will start to develop into an embryo.
