Morphology
The meaning 'a cyst filled with blood' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'blood' (the fluid) with 'cyst' (a fluid-filled abnormal structure). This noun–noun compound follows regular English compounding patterns and similar constructions exist in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Blood cyst creates a simple picture: a small pocket, the cyst, becomes full of blood after an internal bleed or a small injury. So, it means a cyst that is literally 'filled with blood' and may cause pain or need treatment.
