Morphology
The meaning 'to evaluate by other experts' is directly derived from combining 'peer' (a person of equal rank or qualification) with 'review' (to assess critically), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This is a compositional, cross-linguistically common pattern (assess + by equals), making it readily understandable at B1 level.
Etymology
Peer review comes from the simple idea of colleagues checking each other's work: peer is someone at the same level and review means to read and check, so experts read and judge a colleague's work. That's why it means 'to evaluate a colleague's work'.
