Morphology
The meaning 'the pursuit of social standing' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'status' (social standing) + 'seeking' (the act of pursuing). This noun-noun/compound-like construction is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
The noun status seeking comes from the simple image of someone climbing a ladder to reach a higher place, with status as the higher spot and seeking as the act of climbing. So, it means trying to gain 'social standing', 'approval', or 'influence'.
