Morphology
The meaning 'the thickness or breadth of a line' follows a straightforward noun–noun composition: 'width' (extent side to side) applied to 'line', yielding the measurement of a line's breadth. This is a common, cross-linguistic compositional pattern and, given context (drawing/printing/display), a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Line width comes from the simple idea of how fat or thin a drawn line is—the width is like the size of the pen or brush mark. So it means 'the thickness of a line in a drawing or print'.
