Morphology
The meaning 'an absence or insufficiency of help' is directly and compositionally derived from 'lack' (absence) combined with 'support' (help), with 'of' marking the relationship. This is a common noun + of + noun pattern found across languages and standard English, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Lack of support gives the image of someone holding a heavy box with nothing or no one to hold it up; the word lack means 'not enough' and support is what holds or helps. That's why it means 'no help' or 'no backing'.
