Morphology
The meaning 'a substantial and filling morning meal' follows directly from combining 'hearty' (satisfying, nourishing) with 'breakfast' (the morning meal). This is a transparent adjective+noun composition that is common across languages and predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Hearty breakfast comes from the word hearty, which means strong and full, and breakfast, the first meal of the day. The image is a big, warm meal that fills you up, so the phrase means 'a filling, strong morning meal'.
