Morphology
The meaning 'the process of carefully examining information' is directly built from 'vet' (to check carefully) plus 'information' with the gerundive '-ing' marking the action/process. This is a productive, compositional verb+noun construction common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Vetting information comes from the picture of a vet, an animal doctor, carefully checking a horse for health problems. So to 'vet' something means 'to check' it closely, and vetting information means checking facts to be sure they are 'accurate' and 'reliable'.
