Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'experimental' (related to experiments) with 'condition' (a particular treatment or trial situation): it denotes a condition used within an experiment. This compositional pattern follows standard noun-modifier semantics and has clear parallels in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase experimental condition comes from the idea of an experiment, a test, and a condition, the set of things you keep the same or change. Imagine testing a cake recipe and changing only the oven temperature on purpose. That one 'condition' is what you compare with the 'control', so the phrase means a specific setup in an experiment to see an effect.
