Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'frankfurter' (a type of sausage) + 'bun' (a bread roll) yields a bread roll intended to hold a frankfurter. This noun–noun compounding is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Frankfurter bun is named for the frankfurter sausage from the city of Frankfurt and the soft bun that holds it. The image is simple: the roll wraps the 'sausage' so you can eat a 'hot dog' by hand, so the name means 'a long bread roll for a frankfurter'.
