Morphology
The meaning 'a payment card that deducts funds directly from the holder's bank account' is directly derivable from combining 'debit' (to charge/post money to an account) with 'card' (a payment card). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound with clear cross-linguistic equivalents (e.g., Spanish 'tarjeta de débito'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Debit card comes from old bank records where the word debit showed money 'taken out' of an account, and the card is the plastic tool that makes the bank take money right away when you pay. So, debit card means a card that uses money already in your bank account.
