Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition where 'vitamin' names the nutrient class and 'B' functions as a category label identifying the subgroup (e.g. B1, B12), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a vitamin from group B. This pattern of letter/label + noun is common across languages, making the meaning predictable and transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
B vitamin gets its name from early scientists who found a helpful group of 'vitamins' and simply gave the group the letter B as the second set they discovered. Later they found the group had several different ones like B1, B2 and B12, so today B vitamin means any one of that family that helps the body make energy and stay healthy.
