Morphology
The meaning 'a disease that affects the blood' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'blood' (the bodily fluid) with 'disorder' (a medical condition). This modifier–head noun composition follows a common and cross-linguistically transparent pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Blood disorder is a compound noun made from blood, meaning the body's red fluid, and disorder, meaning something 'not in order'. So, it names a 'disease' that affects the blood, like anemia or hemophilia.
