Morphology
The meaning 'a person who has won a prize' is directly and compositionally derived from 'prize' (a reward) + 'winner' (one who wins). This noun-noun combination follows a common and transparent compounding pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Prize winner comes from the simple image of a person holding a shiny prize, like a trophy, medal, or cash, after a contest or lottery. That's why prize winner means a person who has 'won' a prize.
