Morphology
The meaning is transparently built from 'clean' (neat, not messy) modifying 'code' (program instructions); a learner who knows both words can infer 'code that is tidy, well-organized and easy to read'. This adjectival metaphor is common and cross-linguistically predictable, so a B1 learner would likely understand the intended sense without prior exposure.
Etymology
The term clean code comes from the simple image of cleaning a messy desk: the word clean suggests tidying and the word code means a program, so cleaning code means removing clutter and making everything easy to find. That's why 'clean code' means code that is well-organized, easy to read, and easy to maintain.
