Morphology
The meaning 'milk that has had its water removed' is directly and compositionally derived from 'dried' (preserved by removing moisture) + 'milk' (the nutritive liquid). This is a straightforward noun + adjective compound following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound noun dried milk comes from the simple idea of taking milk and making it dried, so the water is removed and only a powder remains. That's why dried milk means milk with the water removed, kept as a powder for easy storage and later mixed with water for use.
