Morphology
The phrase combines 'new' (recent, novel) with 'dawn' (the beginning or initial phase), so the meaning 'fresh start' is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional metaphor is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English noun-modifier patterns, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The phrase new dawn comes from the image of a sunrise after a long, dark night. A dawn feels like a 'fresh start', so new dawn now means a real 'new beginning' after hard times.
