Morphology
The meaning 'water used in a bath' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bath' (an act or container for washing) + 'water' (H₂O), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase easily. This noun–noun compound follows common, cross-linguistic compounding patterns and is therefore readily comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The noun bath water is simply the words bath and water put together. Imagine the water in your tub before or after a bath; that's why it means 'water used in a bath'.
