Morphology
The meaning ('a sleeve that extends to the wrist') is directly and compositionally derived from 'long' (extended in length) + 'sleeve' (arm-covering on a garment). This adjective+noun pattern is a basic, cross-linguistic descriptive construction in English, so a B1 learner who knows the two words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Long sleeve is a simple name that shows its meaning: the parts long and sleeve picture a sleeve that reaches the wrist. That's why it means 'a sleeve that goes from the shoulder to the wrist'.
