Morphology
The meaning 'a person who feels most energetic and alert in the morning' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'morning' (the early part of the day) with 'person' (an individual) — essentially 'a person of the morning.' This attributive noun+noun pattern is common in English and cross‑linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Morning person gives the image of a person who wakes with the morning, like a farmer or a bird up at sunrise. That's why it means someone who 'feels most energetic and alert in the morning'.
