Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'range' (stove) + 'hood' (covering) clearly yields a covering/extractor for a stove, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it removes smoke, steam and odors above the stove. This noun–noun compounding is a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern, making the MWE immediately comprehensible from its parts.
Etymology
The name range hood comes from the words range and hood. Long ago range meant 'stove' and hood meant a 'cover' that caught smoke and sent it away, so the term now names the fan and cover above the stove that removes smoke and cooking smells.
