Morphology
The meaning 'an examination at the end of an academic term' is directly and compositionally derived from 'final' (last/end) modifying 'exam' (an assessment). This standard noun + modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Final exam comes from two everyday words: final meaning 'last' and exam meaning 'test'. So, it is the big test given at the end of a course to check what students have learned, and that's why it means a test given at the end of the term.
