Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derivable from 'kidney' (an organ that produces urine) + 'stone' (a hard solid mass): a hard mass located in the kidney. This straightforward noun–noun compound is cross-linguistically common in medical vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will very likely infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Kidney stone comes from a simple picture: a hard stone that forms inside the kidney from minerals. These small, hard pieces can block the tubes that carry urine and cause strong pain, so the name means 'a hard, solid mass in the kidney that causes pain'.
