Morphology
The meaning 'a hat made from animal fur' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fur' (animal hair/material) with 'hat' (a head covering). This simple noun–noun compounding follows common composition patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Fur hat is a very literal name: it is a hat made from animal fur, used in cold places to protect the head. That's why 'fur hat' means a hat made from animal fur 'to keep warm' or for 'style'.
