Morphology
The meaning 'pepper crushed into powder' is directly and compositionally derived from 'ground' (the past participle/adjective of grind, meaning crushed into small pieces or powder) + 'pepper'. This is a productive noun phrase that follows regular English morphology and parallels constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Ground pepper comes from the simple action of crushing whole peppercorns into small bits. Imagine turning whole pepper into powder with a grinder: the pepper is ground, so the name means 'peppercorns crushed' and tells you the spice is ready to use.
