Morphology
The phrase literally combines 'perform' (to present music, drama, or dance publicly) with 'arts' (creative activities), so its meaning — arts that are performed in public, e.g. music, drama, dance — is directly derivable from the parts. This verb-ing + noun compositional pattern is common in English and in many other languages, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
The noun performing arts comes from the simple idea of performing creative arts 'in front of an audience'. So it means activities like drama, music, and dance that are shown live for people to watch.
