Morphology
The meaning 'considered first or most important in someone's thoughts' is directly derivable from combining 'top' (highest) with 'mind' (thoughts) with 'of' as a linking preposition; it reads as the thing at the highest position in one's mind. This spatial-to-mental composition is common across languages and follows a straightforward metaphorical mapping, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will likely understand it.
Etymology
Top of mind comes from a simple picture: your thoughts are like a stack and the thing on the top of your mind is the first you see. So when something is top of mind, it means it is the 'first' or 'most important' thing you are thinking about.
