Morphology
bachelor's + degree
The meaning is compositionally derived: 'bachelor's' marks the level/type (bachelor level) and 'degree' names an academic qualification, so together they indicate an academic qualification at the bachelor level. The possessive construction and this lexical combination are common cross-linguistically, making the sense predictable to a learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Bachelor's degree comes from old universities long ago. Back then a bachelor was a young or junior student who had finished the first 'step' of study, and a degree meant a 'step' or level of learning. So today a bachelor's degree still means the first full university degree someone earns.
