Morphology
The phrase 'computer monitor' is a straightforward noun–noun compound whose meaning (a monitor associated with a computer) is directly compositional from 'computer' and 'monitor'. This is a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern and uses high-frequency words, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the correct meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun computer monitor combines computer and monitor, and a monitor is something that 'watches' or 'shows'. So it means 'the screen that shows what a computer does'.
