Morphology
The meaning 'the feeling of being full' is directly and compositionally derived from 'sense' (a feeling or awareness) combined with 'fullness' (being filled or sated), with 'of' serving as the linking preposition. This is a common, literal pattern across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase sense of fullness gives a simple picture: your stomach fills like a bag and you get a clear sense, a feeling of fullness, so you do not want to eat more. That's why it means 'the feeling of being full or satisfied after eating'.
