Morphology
The meaning 'a coat made from the fur of animals' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'fur' and 'coat' following a common noun+noun compound pattern. This construction is cross-linguistically familiar and follows ordinary English word-formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
Fur coat is a plain, literal name for a coat made from animal fur to keep a person warm. Because real fur was warm and often expensive, a fur coat also came to show 'wealth' or 'fashion'.
