Morphology
The meaning 'informal clothing for leisure' is directly and compositionally derived from 'leisure' (free time) + 'wear' (clothing), following a common English noun+noun compounding pattern. This logic is cross-linguistically transparent (e.g., equivalents like Spanish 'ropa de ocio' or French 'vêtements de loisirs') and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Leisure wear comes from the two words leisure ('free time') and wear ('clothes'). The image is changing into soft, loose clothes when you relax, so the phrase means 'comfortable clothing for relaxing or leisure activities'.
