Morphology
The meaning 'a type of sausage made with ground liver' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'liver' (the edible organ) and 'sausage' (seasoned meat in a casing). This straightforward compositional compound follows common cross-linguistic culinary naming patterns (e.g., German Leberwurst, French boudin de foie), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Liver sausage simply names its parts: liver and sausage, and it means a sausage made from ground liver mixed with spices. So the name literally tells you what it is: 'a sausage made with liver'.
