Morphology
The meaning 'a specific period of time scheduled or allocated for an event' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'time' (a span or period) with 'slot' (a designated interval or opening). This is a straightforward compositional phrase common in many languages and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Time slot comes from the idea of a slot as a small space in a schedule. Imagine a calendar with little boxes where you put events; each box is a time slot, so the phrase means 'a specific time planned for something'.
