Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'shoulder' (the upper-body area) + 'joint' (a point where bones articulate), denoting the joint located at the shoulder. This literal anatomical noun phrase follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The noun shoulder joint names the place where the arm bone fits into the shoulder like a 'ball' sitting in a 'socket'. This joint is what lets the arm turn and lift, so the term means the part that allows the arm to move.
