Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'new' (novel, recent) with 'world' (realm, sphere): 'new world' straightforwardly denotes a novel realm or situation. This is a literal, compositional noun phrase following common noun-modifier patterns (cross-linguistically common), so a B1 learner who knows both words can reasonably infer the intended meaning (aside from the distinct historical proper noun sense 'the New World').
Etymology
New world comes from explorers who called the lands they found across the ocean a new world that was unknown to them. That's why new world now means a place or situation that opens 'new opportunities' and different experiences.
