Morphology
years + of + experience
The meaning 'the length of time someone has spent gaining knowledge or skills' is directly and compositionally derived from 'years' (a period of time) + 'of' (genitive/relationship marker) + 'experience' (practical knowledge), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the phrase. This noun‑phrase pattern is cross‑linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'años de experiencia'), making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Years of experience gives a simple picture: each year is like a step on a ladder where you gather more experience. So, many years of experience means someone has built up a lot of 'knowledge' and 'skills' over time.
