Morphology
The meaning 'hair on a person's body' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'body' (physical structure) with 'hair' (filamentous strands), so a learner who knows both words will infer the intended referent. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common composition patterns (cross-linguistically common), making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Body hair is a simple picture: hair that grows on the body, like on the arms, chest, or legs, not on the head or face. So it means 'short hair that naturally grows on a person's body, not the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes'.
