Morphology
The meaning 'a medical condition marked by abnormal or disturbed eating habits' is directly derivable from combining 'eating' (the process of taking food) with 'disorder' (a diagnosed condition). This noun+noun composition is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would infer the general meaning.
Etymology
Eating disorder joins eating (the act of eating food) and disorder (a word meaning 'not normal' or 'out of the usual order'). The picture is of someone's eating being disturbed or out of order, so the term means 'a medical problem with unhealthy or disturbed eating habits'.
