Morphology
The meaning 'an imagined place or universe' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fantasy' (an imagined or invented scenario) with 'world' (a place or universe). This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fantasy world paints a simple picture: fantasy is a made-up story and world is a whole place, so together they name a place you make in your mind. So, fantasy world means 'an imagined place' that is not real.
