Morphology
The meaning 'pain in the abdomen' is directly and transparently composed from 'abdominal' (relating to the abdomen) + 'pain' (sensation of hurt), so the sense is immediately derivable from the parts. This adjective+noun construction is common and cross-linguistically parallel, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the expression.
Etymology
Abdominal pain tells you where the hurt is: abdominal comes from 'abdomen', a word for the belly, and pain is the hurt you feel. So, abdominal pain means 'pain in the belly area'.
