Morphology
The meaning 'a kitchen appliance that processes food' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'food' (substance consumed) with 'processor' (one that processes). This regular noun+noun compounding pattern is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun food processor names a processor that works on food: imagine a bowl with fast blades doing the hard jobs of chopping, slicing, and mixing for you. That's why it means a kitchen 'machine' with different blades to prepare food quickly.
