Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'writing' specifies the activity and 'implement' means a tool, so together they denote a tool used for writing (e.g., pen or pencil). This formation follows a common modifier+noun pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Writing implement comes from the idea of a tool used for writing. The word implement means 'tool', so writing implement simply names items like a 'pen' or 'pencil'.
