Morphology
The meaning 'a particular area or field of expertise' is directly and compositionally derived from 'knowledge' (information or understanding) combined with 'domain' (an area or field). This noun-noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Knowledge domain comes from a simple map image: imagine each domain as a piece of land and knowledge as what lives or belongs there. So a knowledge domain is like a particular 'area' or 'field' of learning and study.
