Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'blood' (the bodily fluid) combined with 'clotting' (the process of becoming semisolid) directly describes blood forming clots. This transparent noun + gerund construction follows regular English composition and has clear equivalents in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Blood clotting is when blood turns into a firm lump called a clot, and that change, clotting, plugs a cut. This stops the flow, so 'blood clotting' means 'to stop bleeding'.
