Morphology
The meaning 'an organized educational visit' is directly derivable from combining 'field' (an area/place related to study or work) with 'trip' (a journey); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a trip related to a field of study or to a specific place for learning. This compounding pattern is common and has clear cross-linguistic parallels (e.g. school excursion/school trip), so the expression is transparently compositional for learners.
Etymology
The noun field trip comes from teachers taking students out into the field, the countryside or an outdoor place, on a short trip to 'learn' about plants and animals. So, it now means an organized school visit to learn things outside the classroom.
