Morphology
The meaning 'the capacity to acquire knowledge or skills' is directly compositional from 'learning' (acquiring knowledge) + 'ability' (capacity), following a common noun-noun compounding pattern. This transparent, literal combination is cross-linguistically regular and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The compound learning ability may come from thinking of learning as the act of getting new knowledge and ability as the power or skill to do something, so together they create the image of a person's 'power to learn'. That's why learning ability means the skill or 'capacity' to take in new facts and learn new things.
