Morphology
The meaning 'an area of land where peach trees are grown' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'peach' (the fruit/tree) + 'orchard' (land planted with fruit trees). This simple noun–noun compound follows transparent, cross-linguistically common naming patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
