Morphology
The meaning 'a sudden or dramatic change in a person's emotional state' is directly and predictably built from 'mood' (emotional state) plus 'swing' (a movement or shift), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound meaning. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g. Spanish 'cambio de humor', French 'sautes d'humeur') and follows ordinary noun + noun/verb-to-noun conversion, making it readily understandable at B1.
Etymology
Mood swing may come from the picture of a playground swing that moves quickly from one side to the other, like a person's mood changing from happy to sad. So, it means 'a sudden change in a person's emotions'.
