Morphology
long-term + memory
The meaning is directly derived from 'long-term' (lasting for an extended period) combined with 'memory' (the capacity to store information). This adjective+noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun long-term memory comes from the simple picture of keeping things for a long time. Imagine a box or shelf where you put facts or events and leave them there for years, and so it means the part of the mind that keeps information 'for a long time'.
