Morphology
The meaning 'the primary idea' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'main' (chief, primary) with 'concept' (idea); the adjective-noun composition follows standard, predictable English patterns. This compositional logic is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Main concept is a phrase made of two simple words: main means 'most important' and concept means an 'idea'. Together they paint a clear picture of the 'most important idea' in a text or talk, so the phrase is used to name that central thought.
