Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'new' (added/next) + 'line' (a row of text) yields the idea of starting text on the next row. Although often used as a technical/printing term, the concept is cross-linguistically common and fully predictable from the constituents for a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The phrase new line comes from old typewriters and printers: when you reached the end of a row you moved the paper up to start a new line. So today new line means 'move the text to the next line'.
