Morphology
This is a transparently compositional noun phrase: 'life' modifies 'insurance' to indicate insurance related to a person's life, i.e. a policy that pays out on death or provides life-related coverage. Many languages use the same construction (e.g. Spanish 'seguro de vida'), so a B1 learner who knows 'life' and 'insurance' can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Life insurance comes from the simple idea of protecting a person's life with a promise: people pay small amounts now so that if they die, the plan gives money to their family. So, life insurance today means a plan that will 'pay money to the people you choose' after you die.
