Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: combining 'hair' (the filament) with 'follicle' (a small cavity or group of cells) yields the meaning 'the small cavity that contains a hair root'. This follows a regular noun+noun naming pattern (cross-linguistically common) and has no idiomatic shift, so a learner who knows both constituents can predict the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun hair follicle comes from the literal image of a tiny tube or pocket in the skin that holds the root of a hair. Small oil glands and tiny muscles attach to the follicle, helping the hair move and stay healthy, so today the term means the small skin cavity that contains and supports a hair.
