Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'perform' (to present music, drama, or dance) + 'artist' (a person who creates or practices art): a person who performs. The present-participial modifier + noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English noun formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Performing artist comes from the simple picture of an artist who is performing on a stage, singing, acting or dancing for people. That's why it means 'a person who puts on a live show to entertain an audience'.
