Morphology

lodge + in

The meaning 'to live or stay in' is directly derivable from combining 'lodge' (to take or provide temporary accommodation) with the locative preposition 'in'. This verb+preposition composition follows a common English pattern (and similar patterns in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Lodge in comes from old inns where travelers would lodge and go in to a room to sleep. So to lodge in means 'to stay' or 'live' in a place, often for a short time.
