Morphology
The meaning 'a consequence that endures' is directly derivable from combining 'lasting' (existing for a long duration) with 'effect' (a result); the adjective modifies the noun in a standard, compositional way. This transparent adjective+noun structure is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Lasting effect brings to mind a stone dropped into a pond: the ripples, the effect, keep moving long after the stone falls, the lasting part. So, it means 'a result that stays for a long time'.
