Morphology
The meaning ('a prompt indicating the system is ready to receive a command') is directly derivable from combining 'command' (an instruction) with 'prompt' (a signal or cue) — literally a prompt for commands. This is a straightforward noun+noun composition used in computing and parallels similar constructions in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun command prompt comes from early computers that showed a short sign to prompt you to type a command. So, it now means the line or symbol that shows the computer is 'ready' to receive a command.
