Morphology
The meaning 'appearing stylish without seeming to try' is directly and transparently composed from 'effortlessly' (without exertion) modifying 'cool' (stylish), following a standard adverb + adjective pattern. This is a common, predictable English construction (and parallels exist in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the phrase meaning.
Etymology
Effortlessly cool comes from a simple picture of a person who looks stylish without trying, as if they woke up and still look good. The word effortlessly means 'without effort' and cool means 'stylish', so the phrase means 'appearing stylish without seeming to try'.
