Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'calendar' specifies the conventional Gregorian system and 'year' denotes a twelve-month span, so 'calendar year' clearly denotes the Jan 1–Dec 31 period. This modifier + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Calendar year comes from the idea of a calendar that shows all the months and a year running from January 1 to December 31. That's why it means the 12-month period shown on the calendar, not a 'fiscal year'.
