Morphology
The noun combines 'lounge' (to relax) with 'chair' (a seat) to denote a chair intended for relaxing; the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a straightforward noun–noun compounding pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Lounge chair comes from the words lounge and chair, where lounge meant resting and chair is a seat. Picture a low, wide seat you can lean back in and 'lounge' on, and that image explains why it means a comfortable, often reclining chair for relaxing.
