Morphology
The noun phrase 'motion sickness' directly combines 'motion' (movement) and 'sickness' (nausea), so the meaning — feeling nauseous as a result of movement — is plainly derivable from the constituents. This causal compounding is common across languages and follows a standard English noun-noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Motion sickness comes from a simple image: motion means movement and sickness means feeling ill. So the phrase means 'feeling sick because of movement'.
