Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'appointment' (a planned meeting) with 'book' (a bound set of pages): it denotes a book used to record appointments. This noun–noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistically common composition pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Appointment book is a simple book with dates and empty lines where people write meetings and times. The parts appointment and book show a clear picture of a book for appointments, so it means 'a place to record and organize your schedule'.
