Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from the locative preposition 'in' combined with 'the field' (a domain or physical area), so it signals being located or working within a particular area or professional domain. This compositional, cross‑linguistically common structure is transparent and a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the intended sense.
Etymology
In the field comes from the image of people working out in a real open field or at a work site, not inside an office or lab. So today in the field means 'doing real, hands-on work or research where things happen, away from the central office'.
