Morphology
The meaning 'a powder made from ground chili peppers' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'chili' (a small pepper used for heat) with 'powder' (a fine, dry substance); this follows a regular noun+noun compounding pattern in English. The same compositional logic appears in many languages (e.g., Spanish 'chile en polvo'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Chili powder comes from cooking: dried chili peppers are crushed into a fine powder. Because this red dust adds strong 'heat' and 'flavor' to food, the name now means the spice mix cooks use to make dishes spicy.
