Morphology
The phrase combines 'rebound' (an emotional recovery period after loss) with 'relationship' (a romantic bond), so its meaning — a romantic partnership entered soon after a breakup to cope emotionally — is directly inferable from the parts. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely understand it.
Etymology
Rebound relationship comes from the image of a ball that rebounds, or 'bounces back', after hitting something. After a breakup, a person may quickly 'bounce' into a new relationship to 'feel better', so a rebound relationship is a romance that starts soon after another one to help someone move on.
