Morphology
The meaning 'a person who is larger than average in size or build' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'large' (bigger than typical) with 'person' (a human individual). This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is grammatically regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Large person is a simple, literal phrase: large means 'big' and person means a human, so you can picture someone bigger than most people. That's why it is used to mean 'a person who is larger than average in size or build'.
