Morphology
The meaning 'a particular philosophy or conception of the world' is directly and compositionally derived from 'world' (the world or realm of experience) + 'view' (an opinion or perspective). This noun–noun combination maps transparently onto the idea of 'one's view of the world' and is a cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
World view may come from the simple picture of standing on a hill and looking out over the world, the view you have there. So a person's world view is their 'way of seeing' life and ideas.
