Morphology
The phrase 'emotional disorder' is directly interpretable as a 'disorder related to emotions' by combining 'emotional' (about emotions) with 'disorder' (a medical/psychological condition). This compositional reading follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Emotional disorder gives a simple picture: emotional points to a person's 'emotions' and disorder suggests those feelings are 'out of order' or messy. So, it means a mental condition where someone's feelings are very disturbed and cause problems in daily life.
