Morphology
The meaning 'a device that plays compact discs' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'CD' (compact disc) with 'player' (a device/software that plays media). This noun–noun compounding pattern is common across languages and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
CD player gets its name from CD, short for compact disc, a small shiny 'disc' that stores music, and from player, a machine that plays it. When CDs became common in the 1980s, the machines that read those spinning discs were called CD players, so the name simply means a device that plays CDs.
