Morphology
The meaning 'a particular branch of knowledge' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'field' (an area or domain) + 'of' (linker) + 'study' (a subject or branch). This noun + of + noun construction is common and follows standard English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Field of study mixes two simple words: field (a piece of land or an area) and study (careful learning). One picture is a student working in one field, focusing on that subject, so the phrase means a particular 'branch of knowledge' you learn or work in.
