Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently compositional: 'pork' (meat from a pig) + 'sausage' (seasoned meat in a casing) yields 'a sausage made from pork.' This noun-noun combination follows a common compounding pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase pork sausage comes from the simple idea of a sausage made from pork, which is 'pig meat'. Butchers mixed ground pork with spices and packed it into a skin, so the name now means 'a sausage made mostly from pork'.
