Morphology
The meaning 'water sold or packaged in bottles' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'bottle' (to put liquid into a bottle / container) with 'water' (the drinking liquid); the past-participial adjective 'bottled' signals that the water has been put into bottles. This compositional pattern is common and mirrors equivalent constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Bottled water paints a clear picture: bottled water is water put into a bottle so people can 'drink' or 'buy' it away from where it came from. That's why today the phrase means water sold or carried in bottles, often from a spring or cleaned for safe drinking.
