Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'horizontal' (parallel to the horizon / positioned at right angles to the vertical) modifies 'line' (a long narrow mark), so the combined meaning — a line running at a constant level parallel to the horizon — is directly derivable. The construction follows a common cross-linguistic and English compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Horizontal line may come from the word 'horizon', the flat place where the sea and sky meet. That flat meeting looks like a straight, level line, so horizontal, meaning 'side to side', plus line gives the idea of a straight line that runs left to right.
