Morphology
The meaning 'a particular branch or field of knowledge' is directly derivable from combining 'subject' (a taught or studied topic) with 'area' (a domain or field); there is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift. This straightforward noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common and easily predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Subject area may come from joining the words subject (the topic you study) and area (a space or part). Imagine a room or shelf with books all about one topic — that visible 'space' helps you remember that subject area means 'a particular field of knowledge'.
