Morphology
The meaning 'a place for a vehicle to be parked' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'parking' (relating to leaving vehicles) with 'spot' (a particular location). This compound follows a common, compositional noun+noun pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Parking spot comes from the simple image of a painted spot for parking, like a small box on the ground where a car stops. That's why it means 'a place to park a vehicle'.
