Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun compound: 'fisheye' describes the type of 'lens', so the meaning (a lens that produces fisheye/wide-angle distortion) is directly compositional. This follows a common and transparent English modifier-noun pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand.
Etymology
Fisheye lens comes from the idea of a fish's eye, which seems to see all around it because it has a very wide, round view. So a fisheye lens is a camera lens that gives a 'very wide' view and makes straight lines look curved.
