Morphology
The meaning 'a plentiful harvest' is directly and transparently derived from combining the adjective 'good' (positive, favorable) with the noun 'harvest' (crop collection). This straightforward adjective‑noun composition is cross‑linguistically common and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The noun good harvest comes from farming life: when farmers gather lots of healthy crops at harvest time, they have a good harvest. That's why 'good harvest' means a year with plenty of crops.
