Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'medical' (relating to medicine) and 'record' (a written account), so the compound clearly denotes a written account of medical information. This compositional pattern is common in English and mirrors constructions in many other languages, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Medical record comes from a simple image: medical means 'health' and record means a written file that keeps notes. It is a file that holds a patient's 'health' history and treatments, so the phrase means an official written record of a person's medical care.
