Morphology
The meaning is compositionally built from 'e-mail' (electronic mail) and 'address' (an identifier or location), so 'e-mail address' straightforwardly denotes the identifier used for email. This noun+noun compound follows a common English pattern and similar constructions exist in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
E-mail address comes from the idea of a postal address for mail: an address tells you 'where to send' a letter, so an e-mail address tells computers where to send a message; it usually shows a username, the @ symbol meaning 'at', and a domain that names the place. So the phrase now means the specific digital place someone uses to receive electronic mail.
