Morphology
The meaning 'permission granted after being informed' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'informed' (having been given information) modifying 'consent' (permission). This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and common cross-linguistically (e.g., consentimiento informado), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's basic meaning, though legal/medical specifics require domain knowledge.
Etymology
The phrase informed consent brings to mind a simple scene where a doctor tells a patient the facts and the patient signs to agree. informed means given the important information and consent means permission or saying 'yes', so the phrase means 'permission given after understanding'.
