Morphology
combination + of
The meaning 'the act or result of joining two or more elements together' is directly derivable from the noun 'combination' (a joined mixture) together with the preposition 'of' linking the constituents; the phrase 'combination of X' is a straightforward compositional noun phrase. This construction is cross-linguistically common and follows basic English grammar, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand it.
Etymology
Combination of comes from the simple image of mixing things, like putting ingredients into one bowl or blending colors on a palette to make something new. So, combination of means the result you get when two or more things are 'joined' together.
