Morphology
The meaning 'a cell that is part of bone tissue' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bone' (the calcified tissue) with 'cell' (microscopic living unit); the compound simply names a cell located in or associated with bone. This noun–noun composition is common in English and other languages and follows predictable biomedical naming patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bone cell names a tiny living part inside a bone: bone shows where it lives and cell shows it is a small living unit. These 'workers' make and repair bone, so the name now means a cell that builds or keeps bone tissue.
