Morphology
The meaning 'an institution for training in veterinary medicine' is directly and compositionally derived from 'veterinary' (relating to animal medical care) + 'school' (an educational institution). This noun–noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic compounding pattern and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Veterinary school combines veterinary (work with animals) and school (a place to learn). The word veterinary may come from old words for farm animals, so a veterinary school is the place where people are trained to be 'animal doctors'.
