Morphology
dress + warmly
The meaning 'put on enough warm clothes' is directly derivable from combining 'dress' (to put clothing on) with 'warmly' (in a warm manner), so a learner who knows both words can infer it means to wear warm clothing. This is a straightforward compositional pattern found across languages, making the phrase immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Dress warmly gives a clear picture: to dress is to put on clothes and warmly means to add extra layers like a coat, hat and gloves to keep warm. So it means 'to put on enough warm clothes to protect yourself from cold weather'.
