Morphology
The meaning 'the movement of the eyes' is directly and literally composed from 'eye' (the organ of vision) + 'movement' (a change of position), so the phrase simply denotes motion of that body part. This noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Eye movement comes from the simple picture of the eye actually making a movement, like a quick turn or following a line of text. People saw these small moves often 'show' if someone is tired, paying attention, or reading, so Eye movement now means the way someone's eyes move and what those moves tell us.
