Morphology
The meaning 'a number with two digits (10–99)' is directly and compositionally derived from 'double' (twofold) + 'digit' (numeral); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's sense. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common numeric composition rather than an idiom, so it is immediately transparent.
Etymology
Double digit comes from the idea of 'two digits': double means two and digit means a single number like '1' or '0'. So a double digit number has two number parts, for example '10' or '99', and it means a number from '10 to 99'.
