Morphology
The sense 'a particular way of thinking about or viewing a specific subject' is directly derivable from 'perspective' (viewpoint) combined with the preposition 'on' indicating the topic. This noun + preposition composition is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Perspective on comes from the simple image of looking at something from one place. Your perspective is the view you see and on shows what you are looking at, so it means 'a particular way of thinking about' a subject.
