Morphology
The meaning 'waste matter discharged from the body' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'body' (the physical organism) with 'waste' (refuse or discarded material); the compound simply denotes waste that comes from the body. This source+content noun-noun composition is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Body waste comes from joining body, meaning the human body, and waste, meaning things we throw away. It paints a clear picture: the 'trash' the body gets rid of, like urine, sweat, or feces, so the phrase means 'waste matter' from the body.
