Morphology
The meaning 'the smallest and outermost toe' follows a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'little' (small) modifies 'toe' (digit), so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts. This is a basic, non-idiomatic, cross-linguistically common pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Little toe is a simple name from its parts: little because it is the smallest, and toe because it is one of the toes at the edge of the foot. That's why little toe means 'the smallest and outermost toe', sometimes called the 'pinky toe'.
