Morphology
The meaning 'the process of teaching someone to use the toilet' is directly derivable from combining 'toilet' (place for elimination) and 'train' (to teach). This compositional noun phrase follows a common pattern and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase toilet training comes from the simple picture of teaching a child or pet to use the toilet instead of diapers, step by step as a training process. So it means 'the process of teaching someone to use the toilet'.
