Morphology
The meaning 'the exchange of information by speaking' is directly and compositionally derived from 'spoken' (conveyed verbally) + 'communication' (exchange of information). This adjective + noun pattern is transparent and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Spoken communication comes from the simple image of people using their voices to share ideas. The part spoken shows sound from the mouth and communication means sharing, so it refers to giving information 'by speaking' rather than writing.
