Morphology
The meaning 'extent of the observable area' is directly derivable from combining 'field' (an area or space) with 'view' (what is seen) via the common 'X of Y' composition, so the phrase literally denotes the area of view. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'campo de visión', French 'champ de vision'), making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase field of view comes from the simple picture of a field as an open area and a view as what you can see. When you look through a window or a telescope you only see a certain open area, so the phrase means 'the area you can see at one time'.
