Morphology
The meaning 'the main screen that appears first' is directly derivable from combining 'home' (primary/initial place) with 'screen' (display), following a straightforward noun-noun composition. This is a common, cross-linguistically paralleled label for the initial display (e.g., pantalla de inicio), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Home screen comes from thinking of your device like a house: home is the main place you live and screen is the device display. So the home screen is the 'first' page you see, where your important apps and shortcuts are kept.
