Morphology
The meaning 'light that comes from the sun or other natural sources' is directly and transparently composed from 'natural' (not artificial) modifying 'light' (brightness), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase's meaning. This adjective–noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English semantics, making it immediately comprehensible at B1 level.
Etymology
The phrase natural light names the natural light that comes from the sun or other things in nature, not from 'lamps' or 'bulbs'. So, when people say 'natural light' today they mean light from the sun or outside, not light made by people.
