Morphology
The phrase combines 'covering' (a layer placed over something) with 'material' (a substance), so its meaning 'material used to cover or protect surfaces' is directly derivable from the constituents. This noun–noun composition follows normal English compounding and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it.
Etymology
The noun covering material comes from the simple image of a builder laying a cover of material—like a blanket—over a floor, wall, or roof to keep it safe. That's why it means a material used to 'cover' and 'protect' surfaces.
