Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'any sport played in, on, or over water' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'water' (the medium) with 'sport' (a physical activity), following a transparent noun–noun compound pattern. This is a common and cross-linguistically regular formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Water sport shows a simple image: a sport happening in or on water, like swimming, surfing, or sailing, so it means 'any sport played in, on, or over water'.
