Morphology
The parts are partly compositional: 'bipolar' conveys a sense of two poles/opposite states and 'disorder' indicates a clinical condition, so a learner can infer it refers to a medical problem involving two contrasting states (e.g., mood extremes). However, the precise clinical meaning — alternating episodes of mania and depression — is specialized and not fully predictable from the constituents alone for an average B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
The term bipolar disorder comes from the parts bi meaning 'two' and polar meaning 'poles' or 'opposites', like north and south. So, it describes a condition with swings between very high mood ('mania') and very low mood ('depression').
