Morphology
The adjective 'original' conveys 'first' or 'from the origin', so a learner who knows both words could guess this refers to a primary or first wrongdoing; however the full theological sense — a transmitted, inherited state of sin affecting all humans — is a specialized doctrinal meaning not directly derivable from the literal constituents. Cross-linguistic presence of similar terms (e.g. Spanish 'pecado original') may help recognition, but the specific inherited-condition nuance makes the phrase only partially predictable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Original sin comes from the Bible story of Adam and Eve. Because they disobeyed God, their first wrong act was called the first or original sin, and people used this story to say that all humans are born with a 'state of sin'.
