Morphology
The meaning 'a container for carrying or storing water' is directly and compositionally built from 'water' + 'bottle', following the common noun-noun compounding pattern in English. This transparent, cross-linguistically common construction will be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Water bottle is literally a bottle for water. People needed a small container to carry water and 'drink' when they were away from home, so the name means a portable container for drinking water.
