Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'French' denotes nationality/origin and 'person' denotes a human individual, so a learner who knows both words can infer 'a person from France.' This adjective+noun pattern for nationality is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary English composition rules, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
French person is a name for someone from France. The word French comes from the Franks, an old people who lived where France is today, and person just means 'someone', so French person means a person from that country.
