Morphology
The meaning 'clean and invigorating outdoor air' is directly derivable from combining 'fresh' (clean/new) with 'air' (atmosphere/breeze); there is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift. This adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and will be immediately understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Fresh air comes from the simple image of stepping outside into cool, clean air that feels fresh after a stuffy room. That's why it means 'clean and refreshing outdoor air'.
