Morphology
The meaning 'an audio disc made of vinyl' is transparently derived from combining 'vinyl' (the type of plastic) with 'record' (a physical disc for sound). This literal noun–noun composition follows common compounding patterns and has direct parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun vinyl record comes from the flat disc made of vinyl that has tiny grooves which record sound. When a needle moves in the grooves it plays the 'music', so the name shows the material and how it stores sound today.
