Morphology
The meaning 'the part of a website or application that users see and interact with' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'front' (the side nearest a viewer) with 'end' (a part or extremity), i.e. the front-facing part of a system. This compositional pattern is common in English and in technological contexts across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Front end comes from the simple image of the front or leading end of something, like the nose of a car or the first person in a line. So it means the side that faces forward or the part you meet first.
