Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'male' (relating to men) + 'pattern' (a characteristic form) + 'baldness' (loss of hair) combine to mean a characteristic form of hair loss affecting men. This straightforward noun–noun composition follows normal English compounding and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Male pattern baldness is a name for a common kind of 'hair loss' in men. The word pattern shows the hair falls in a clear shape—usually at the top and front of the head—and baldness means 'hair loss', so the phrase means hair loss that follows this usual shape in male people.
