Morphology
The meaning 'a book containing rules' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rule' (a regulation) with 'book' (a written volume), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound common across languages and follows regular English compositional patterns, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Rule book comes from the simple image of a physical book that holds the rules for a game, club, or job. People read that book to learn what they must or must not do, so today 'rule book' means the official list of rules.
