Morphology
The meaning 'treatment that is just, reasonable, or impartial' is directly derivable from combining 'fair' (impartial, equitable) with 'deal' (agreement/arrangement). This adjective+noun composition follows a transparent, cross-linguistic pattern so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the expression.
Etymology
The phrase fair deal comes from old markets and trade. A deal was a trade or agreement, and fair meant honest or equal, so fair deal means 'treatment that is just'.
