Morphology
The meaning 'a specific length or interval of time' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'time' (a span) with 'period' (a measured interval); the compound simply reinforces the temporal sense rather than creating an idiomatic meaning. This noun–noun composition follows regular English and cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Time period combines time and period. Long ago, 'period' was used for one complete circle or cycle, for example the time the moon takes to go around the earth, so time period came to mean 'a set length of time'.
