Morphology
The meaning 'a person who performs as an actor or actress in pornographic films' is directly derived from combining 'porn' (pornographic material) and 'star' (a celebrated performer), indicating a prominent performer in porn. This noun–noun composition is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun porn star combines porn, short for 'pornography' meaning pictures or films about sex, and star, meaning a 'famous performer'. So it means 'a well-known actor who appears in adult films'.
