Morphology
traveling + bag
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'traveling' (relating to travel) modifies 'bag', so a learner who knows both words can infer it is a bag used for travel or for carrying clothes/personal items on trips. This modifier+noun pattern is regular in English and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, making the meaning obvious to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The noun traveling bag comes from the simple picture of a bag used for traveling. People packed clothes and personal items into this rectangular, easy-to-carry bag when they went on trips, so the phrase means 'a bag for travel'.
