Morphology
The meaning is directly and literally composed from 'orange' (the fruit) + 'rind' (the tough outer covering), so the phrase denotes the fruit's outer skin/peel. This is a straightforward, compositional combination found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Orange rind comes from the thin outer skin of an orange, which people call the rind. People grate or peel the rind to add a strong 'flavor' or to decorate food, so the phrase now means the orange's skin used for cooking.
