Morphology
The meaning is directly built from the constituents: 'check' (bank payment) + 'stub' (kept portion), so a learner who knows both words can infer it is the portion of a check kept as a record. This compound/phrase pattern is compositional and cross-linguistically common, making the MWE transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Check stub comes from the small piece left on a check when you tear off the payment; that small piece is a stub. People kept the stub as a record of the payment, so check stub means 'the part of a check kept for your records'.
