Morphology
The meaning 'a system for collecting, storing, and distributing information' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'information' (collected facts) with 'system' (a collection of interacting components). This is a productive noun–noun compound following common composition patterns found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun information system comes from the idea of a system, a group of parts that work together, that handles information, meaning data and messages. Imagine old offices where filing cabinets, phones and couriers all worked together to 'collect, store and share' records, and you can see why today information system means the tools and networks an organization uses to manage information.
