Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'teaching' (the act of instructing) + 'aid' (something that facilitates a task) naturally yields an object or material that helps teaching. This noun–noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Teaching aid comes from the idea of teaching, which is showing or explaining, and aid, which means help. Imagine a teacher using a small tool like a picture, model or card to make a lesson clearer, so the phrase now means 'an object teachers use to help students learn'.
