Morphology
The meaning 'a lesson about historical facts or events' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'history' (study of past events) with 'lesson' (an instructional session). This simple noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows a basic compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
The phrase history lesson combines history, meaning stories about the past, and lesson, meaning a time to learn. So it means 'a class or talk that teaches about past events'.
