Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'injunction' is a court order and 'final' means last or conclusive, so a learner who knows both words can infer this refers to a conclusive/permanent court order. Although it is a legal term, the modifier-noun combination follows a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and is therefore readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Final injunction comes from court practice, with final meaning the last and injunction meaning a court 'order'. Imagine a judge at the end of a trial giving one last firm 'order' that must be followed from then on, so it now means a court's last 'order' that stops or forces actions permanently.
