Morphology
The meaning 'a category of blood classified by antigens' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'blood' (the bodily fluid) with 'type' (a class or category). This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows a straightforward noun + noun classification pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer.
Etymology
Blood type comes from early medical work when doctors saw that different people's blood reacted differently when mixed — some samples clumped. They called these different 'types' or 'groups', so blood type now means the medical group of a person's blood and shows who they can safely receive blood from.
