Morphology
The meaning 'the small, oval seeds of the sesame plant' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'sesame' (the plant) with 'seed' (a small plant reproductive unit). This straightforward noun+noun construction is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Sesame seed comes from the plant's seed pods, which split open and spill many tiny seeds, a picture that inspired the magic words 'Open Sesame' in the story of Ali Baba. That's why sesame seeds are the small seeds we use for food and for making oil.
