Morphology
The meaning 'a class held on Sundays' is directly and transparently composed from 'Sunday' (the day) + 'school' (an educational class/institution); a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes schooling that takes place on Sunday, often in a church context. This is a common, cross-linguistic composition (many languages have an equivalent concept), so the sense is immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Sunday school comes from the simple idea of a school held on Sunday when churches ran classes to 'teach' children about the 'Bible'. So, Sunday school now means a church class on Sundays to learn about the 'Bible'.
