Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably composed from 'pleasure' (enjoyment) + 'seeker' (one who seeks); a learner who knows both words will naturally infer 'a person who seeks pleasure.' This is a transparent, productive noun-noun compound pattern that is cross‑linguistically common and therefore readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Pleasure seeker creates a clear picture: pleasure means enjoyment and seeker is someone who looks for something. Think of a person who goes to parties, trips, or good food to feel happy, and that's why it means 'someone who is always looking for fun'.
