Morphology
The meaning 'communication between members of different religious faiths' is directly derivable from combining 'interfaith' (involving various religious traditions) with 'dialogue' (a conversation). This is a straightforward compositional phrase and follows transparent compounding patterns that a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand.
Etymology
Interfaith dialogue comes from the simple image of people from different religions meeting to talk and learn from each other. The phrase joins inter ('between'), faith ('religion') and dialogue ('conversation') as a picture of that meeting. That's why it means 'communication and discussion between members of different religious faiths'.
