Morphology
child's + room
The meaning 'a bedroom intended for use by a child' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'child' (a young person) with 'room' (an indoor area), with the possessive 's indicating ownership/association. This possessive noun + noun pattern is a common and predictable construction, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Child's room comes from the simple idea of a child's room, a small space with a bed, toys and bright colours made for a young person. That's why it means 'a bedroom intended for use by a child'.
