Morphology
The meaning 'a small apartment consisting of one main room...' is directly derivable from combining 'studio' (a one‑room living space) with 'apartment' (a self‑contained living unit). This noun–noun compositional pattern is common and cross‑linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Studio apartment likely comes from artist studios, where painters or photographers lived and worked in one room so their home and work space were the same. That's why a studio apartment means a small 'apartment' with one main room that serves as bedroom, living room, and kitchen.
