Morphology
The term is compositional: 'chromatography' names the laboratory separation technique and 'column' specifies the apparatus used, so the phrase denotes the form of chromatography performed with a column. A B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably infer it refers to the chromatography method using a (vertical/tubular) column; this modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore transparent.
Etymology
Column chromatography comes from a simple lab picture: a tall glass column, a tube, is filled with a powdery solid that different parts of a mixture can stick to while a liquid pushes the mixture down so the parts come out at different times. That's why column chromatography means a lab method to 'separate' the parts of a mixture as they pass through the column.
