Morphology
The meaning 'food preserved by freezing' is directly and compositionally derived from 'frozen' (preserved by freezing) + 'food' (edible substance), so the overall sense follows immediately from the constituents. This simple adjective + noun pattern is highly productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will reliably understand the MWE.
Etymology
Frozen food comes from the simple idea of food being made frozen, kept in ice or very cold storage so it does not go bad. That's why it means 'food preserved by freezing'.
