Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'laminate' (to cover or bond with a protective layer) with 'glass' — 'laminated' as a past-participle adjective signals glass that has been treated or layered. This is a regular, compositional pattern (treated/covered + noun) and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Laminated glass comes from the simple idea of joining layers: a thin plastic layer is sandwiched between two sheets of glass, making them laminated so the pieces stay together if the outer sheet breaks. That's why laminated glass means glass that 'prevents shattering' and is used for safety.
