Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'context' (the surrounding situation or discourse) combined with 'use' (the purpose or application) yields 'the situation in which something is used.' This follows a common noun + of + noun pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the phrase's meaning.
Etymology
Context of use is like a small actor on a stage: the things around it, the context, and the way people use it, the use, show its 'meaning'.
