Morphology
The meaning 'feeling of ease at home' is directly and compositionally derived from 'comfort' (ease, amenities) combined with 'home' (one's residence) via the linking preposition 'of'. This is a common, literal noun-of-noun pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Comfort of home paints a clear picture: being in your own home, sitting in a cozy chair with things you know and feeling comfort and calm. That's why it means the 'feeling of ease and convenience' you have when you are at home.
