Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining two synonymous nouns ('component' and 'part') that both denote an element of a larger whole; there is no idiomatic shift. This compositional, partly tautological structure is cross-linguistically common and readily comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Component part comes from the simple image of building something: each small piece, a component or part, fits into a machine or puzzle to make the complete thing. So component part means 'a single piece' that helps make the 'whole'.
