Morphology
The meaning of 'influential person' is directly and transparently derived from 'influential' (having a strong effect on others) + 'person' (a human individual); a learner who knows both words can infer the combined meaning. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner would readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase influential person gives a clear picture: the word influential is like a strong wind that moves people, and person is the one doing the moving. So an influential person is someone who can 'change what people do or think'.
