Morphology
orthopedic + foot + insole
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'orthopedic' (relating to bone/structure), 'foot' and 'insole' — i.e., an insole for the foot designed for orthopedic support. This follows a standard modifier + noun compounding pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Orthopedic foot insole comes from medical care for bones and muscles and from the simple idea of placing a shaped pad inside a shoe. Imagine a firm pad, an insole, under your foot that lifts and holds it in the right position, so it 'supports' the foot and helps reduce 'pain'.
