Morphology
The meaning 'a medical examination of a sample of blood' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'blood' (the bodily fluid) with 'test' (an examination). This noun+noun composition is literal, cross-linguistically common, and a frequent medical collocation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Blood test comes from the simple action of taking a small sample of blood and doing a test on it in a lab or clinic. So, blood test means 'an examination of blood to check a person's health'.
