The phrase denotes the number 180 and is directly compositional from 'one' + 'hundred' + 'eighty' following standard English numeric formation rules, so its meaning can be computed by combining the constituent numeric values. Numeric composition is cross-linguistically regular and highly predictable, making this immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the component words.
Etymology
One hundred eighty is simply one hundred plus eighty. Imagine 100 people in a room and 80 more join, making one hundred eighty, so it means the 'number 180'.
