Morphology
The meaning 'the amount of time spent using screen devices' is directly compositional from 'screen' (display device) + 'time' (amount/duration), so the overall sense is transparently built from the parts. This noun-noun compound follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Screen time comes from the simple image of a clock that counts how long you sit in front of a screen. The words screen and time together name the 'time spent using devices with screens', so today screen time means that amount of time.
