Morphology
The meaning 'a plant-derived edible oil' is directly and compositionally derived from 'vegetable' (plant food) + 'oil' (edible liquid fat), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound. This noun-noun combination follows regular, cross-linguistically common compounding patterns and is therefore immediately comprehensible at B1.
Etymology
Vegetable oil comes from a simple picture: people press plants, seeds, or fruits to get liquid oil, and the word vegetable shows it comes from plants rather than animals. So, vegetable oil means 'a cooking oil made from plants'.
