Morphology
The meaning 'a stool that provides ease or comfort' is directly and compositionally derived from 'stool' (a single-person seat) + 'of' + 'easement' (ease, relief), so the overall sense is predictable from the parts. The noun-of-noun/genitive pattern is a regular English construction and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would most likely infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The noun stool of easement likely comes from the idea of a small seat that brings ease, where stool is the seat and easement means 'ease' or 'comfort'. Imagine a light, low stool on wheels placed beside someone so they can sit and move about easily; that's why the name now means a stool for 'easy movement' and comfort.
