Morphology
The compound meaning 'an area within a city defined for administrative or geographic purposes' is directly derived from combining 'city' (urban area) and 'district' (an administratively marked area). This simple noun+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
City district comes from joining city, meaning the town, and district, meaning a marked-off area, to picture a city split into parts with their own feel or rules. So, city district means 'an area within a city'.
