Morphology
The meaning 'sunlight in the early part of the day' is directly and compositionally derived from 'morning' (early part of day) + 'sun' (the star producing light), with no metaphorical or idiomatic shift. This straightforward noun–noun combination is cross-linguistically common and would be obvious to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase morning sun comes from a simple image: the sun rising in the morning and sending soft, warm light into a house or over a field. So the phrase means 'sunlight that appears in the early part of the day' and feels fresh and pleasant.
