Morphology
The phrase transparently combines 'learning' (acquiring knowledge) with 'curve' (a plotted or bent line) to denote a plotted shape showing how learning progresses or the rate of learning; this composition is straightforward and cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'curva de aprendizaje', 'courbe d'apprentissage'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will likely infer it means a graph or pattern of learning. The specialised ML sense (model performance vs. training data) is a specific application of that transparent idea rather than an unpredictable idiom.
Etymology
Learning curve (in machine learning) comes from the same picture idea: people draw a curve that shows a model's score as it learns from more data, and watching the curve rise or flatten makes it easy to see if the model keeps getting better, so the phrase means 'how a model's performance changes with training'.
