Morphology
The meaning 'an organized way of storing and arranging data' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'data' (information) with 'structure' (how parts are organized). This noun–noun compounding follows standard English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will generally infer the basic meaning (even if technical specifics may require domain knowledge).
Etymology
Data structure comes from a simple picture: think of pieces of data put into boxes or on shelves so each item has its place. The word structure shows the order and shape that keeps the data easy to find and change, so data structure means 'an organized way to store and manage data' on a computer.
