Morphology
The meaning 'a bread roll shaped like a crescent' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'crescent' (moon-shaped) + 'roll' (a bread item). This straightforward noun–noun modification is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent semantic combination, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Crescent roll gets its name from its curved, moon-like shape: bakers roll dough into a small curved crescent, making a flaky roll, so the name simply describes the bread's shape.
