Morphology
The meaning 'a plant-based milk made from soybeans' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'soy' (the legume) with 'milk' (a nutritive liquid), so a learner who knows both words can infer the product. This noun-noun compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., Spanish leche de soja) and is therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Soy milk is named very literally. People soak and crush soybeans to make a white, milk-like drink, so it is called 'milk' even though it comes from plants.
