Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: a 'portal site' is simply a 'site' that functions as a 'portal' or entry hub, so the overall meaning follows transparently from the two constituents. This noun-noun combination follows standard English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
The term portal site comes from the image of a portal as a large door and a site as a place. A portal site works like a door to many services such as news, email and search, so people use it as the main 'entry point' to the web.
