Morphology
The meaning 'paint made from acrylic material' is directly and transparently composed from 'acrylic' (the synthetic material) + 'paint' (pigmented coating). This material + noun pattern is a standard, cross-linguistically common composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Acrylic paint gets its name from acrylic, a kind of plastic that holds the colour, and paint, because artists use it to add colour. Because the plastic mixes with water the paint dries fast and cleans up with water, so artists choose it when they want bright colours and quick work.
