Morphology
The meaning 'outer skin or rind of an orange' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'orange' (the fruit) with 'peel' (outer skin) — a straightforward noun–noun compound where the modifier specifies the type of peel. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Orange peel is the outer skin of an orange. When you grate or scrape the peel, oils and bright taste come out and create a strong 'zest', so cooks use orange peel to add flavor, make candied peel, or as a 'garnish'.
