Morphology
The phrase combines 'scientific' (related to science) with 'discipline' (a field of study) to yield ‘a branch of scientific study,’ so the meaning is directly derivable from its parts. This modifier+noun composition is common across languages and follows standard English patterns, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Scientific discipline joins scientific, meaning about studying nature, and discipline, a word that once meant training and now often means a 'field' of study with its own rules. Think of a school where each room is for one subject; that room is a 'discipline' of science, so the phrase means a particular branch of science like physics or biology.
