Morphology
The meaning 'a small, round droplet of water' is directly and compositionally derived from 'water' (the liquid) + 'drop' (a small bead of liquid). This straightforward noun+noun combination follows common compounding patterns that are cross-linguistically frequent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Water drop gives a clear picture: a small, round drop of water that clings to a leaf or rolls down a window. That's why it means 'a small, round droplet of water'.
