Morphology
The meaning 'the physical body of a male human' is directly and transparently derived from combining the constituents 'male' (an individual of the male sex) and 'body' (the physical structure). This simple compositional noun phrase follows common adjective–noun/noun–noun modification patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Male body is a simple label made from male and body; imagine a diagram or a locker sign showing a male figure to mark the physical form. That's why it means 'the physical body of a male person'.
