Morphology
The meaning 'a small calendar designed to fit in a pocket' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'pocket' (a small pouch) with 'calendar' (a chart of days/months). This noun–noun compounding follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately inferable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Pocket calendar comes from simple printed calendars made small enough to fit into a pocket or wallet. The image is a tiny calendar you can carry with you, so today it means 'a small calendar you can carry in your pocket or purse'.
