Morphology
The meaning 'water purified by distillation' is directly derivable from the constituent words: 'distill' (to purify by vaporization and condensation) and 'water'. This is a regular past-participial modifier construction common across languages and English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Distilled water gets its name from how water is distilled: it is boiled, the steam is caught and cooled back into water while the minerals and dirt stay behind. That's why it means 'water without impurities' and is used when people need very clean water.
