Morphology
This is a straightforward noun–noun compound where the headword 'water' modifies 'girl', so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer 'a girl associated with or providing water' (e.g., handing out drinks). The specific occupational nuance (at sporting events) is a common, predictable extension of the compound rather than an idiomatic shift, making the meaning compositionally transparent.
Etymology
Water girl comes from a simple picture: a young woman at the side of a sports field holding bottles and ready to hand out water to players, and the girl is the person who brings the drinks. So, it means 'a girl who gives drinking water to players'.
