Morphology
Both constituents directly contribute to the meaning: 'advisory' = offering advice and 'board' = a committee, so together they straightforwardly denote a committee that provides advice. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English noun+noun/adjective phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Advisory board may come from the image of experts sitting around a board, an old word for a table, to advise each other, so advisory means 'giving advice'. That's why an advisory board is a group set up to 'give advice' to an organization.
