Morphology

bath + glove

The meaning 'a mitt used for washing the body' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'bath' (bathing/washing) with 'glove' (a hand covering). This is a straightforward compositional compound (function + object) and has clear equivalents in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Bath glove comes from the simple picture of a glove used in the bath: a rough mitt you put on your hand to scrub and clean your skin. So, it means 'a mitt for washing or scrubbing the body'.
