Morphology
The meaning 'a time or situation that is amusing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'funny' (humorous) with 'moment' (a short interval) — a straightforward adjective + noun composition. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound funny moment joins funny, which means something that makes you laugh, and moment, which means a short time. Imagine a little bit of time that makes people laugh, and that's why it means 'a time or situation that is amusing or causes laughter'.
