Morphology
The meaning 'a method or system for organizing records or data into files' is directly compositional from 'file' (a collection of documents) and 'system' (an organized set of components); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this as a system relating to files. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern of composition and is therefore immediately understandable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
File system comes from office work: people kept papers in files and put them in an ordered system, like folders in a cabinet. So it now means 'a method to organise records or data'.
