Morphology
The overall meaning ‘a sequence that continues endlessly’ is directly and transparently composed from 'infinite' (endlessly large) + 'sequence' (ordered set). This compositional logic is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning despite its technical use in mathematics.
Etymology
Infinite sequence shows a simple image: infinite means never ending and sequence means a line or list, like people in a queue with no last person. That's why it means 'a list that goes on forever'.
