Morphology
The meaning 'a person's condition with respect to their feelings' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'emotional' (relating to emotions) with 'state' (a condition). This adjective + noun composition is a common, predictable pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Emotional state joins emotional (feelings) and state (a condition). Imagine your feelings like the weather inside you—calm, stormy or bright—so the phrase came to mean the current 'condition' of someone's feelings.
