Morphology
The meaning 'the highest rank or grade' is directly and compositionally derived from 'first' (preceding/all-important) + 'class' (a category or rank). This adj+noun grading pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
First class The adverb first class comes from the travel idea of the first class group that had the best seats and service. So doing something first class means doing it in the most comfortable or top way.
