Morphology
The meaning 'a room set aside for watching television' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tv' (television) with 'room' (an indoor space); the modifier–head compound clearly conveys purpose. This noun–noun composition follows a common and cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
