Morphology
The meaning 'a category of a person's physique' is directly and compositionally derived from 'body' (physical structure) + 'type' (a class or category). This noun-noun compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Body type comes from the simple idea of sorting people by how their body looks and what group they belong to: type means a kind or group. Tailors and trainers would put people into these kinds so clothes and exercises fit better, so today it means a 'category' of someone's 'build'.
