Morphology
The noun 'oil' is straightforward, but the adjective 'essential' here has a specialized sense derived from 'essence' (the concentrated aromatic part) rather than the common B1 meaning 'necessary'. Many languages use a similar compound (e.g. Spanish 'aceite esencial', French 'huile essentielle'), so the connection is partially inferable but requires knowledge of the specialized sense, making it not fully transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Essential oil comes from the idea of a plant's 'essence', the smell or taste that makes a plant special. People heat and collect the oily liquid from flowers, leaves, or roots to capture that 'essence', so essential means the true scent and oil is the concentrated liquid. That's why essential oil means a strong plant extract used for scent or to help people relax.
