Morphology
The meaning 'a situation that has become typical after change' is directly and transparently built from 'new' (recent, changed) + 'normal' (typical, expected). This adjective+noun composition follows standard semantic combination and is cross-linguistically obvious, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase the new normal comes from how people name life after a big change, when a different routine becomes the usual way to live. When old habits end and new ones take their place, the idea of normal changes too, so the phrase means 'a usual situation after a big change'.
