Morphology
The meaning 'a contemporary reinterpretation' is directly derivable from 'modern' (contemporary) combined with 'twist' (an unexpected change or variant) and the prepositional pattern 'twist on' meaning a variation applied to something. This compositional, widely used pattern (and equivalents in many languages) makes the phrase immediately inferable for a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Modern twist on comes from the image of taking something old and giving it a small turn or twist to make it feel new. So it means giving a traditional thing a fresh, 'modern' style or idea.
