Morphology
The compound 'power steering' literally describes steering that uses power to assist the driver, so a learner who knows 'power' (energy/force) and 'steering' (directing a vehicle) can infer it is a powered system that makes steering easier. This is a regular noun–noun compositional pattern rather than an idiom, so the meaning is immediately accessible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Power steering comes from the literal idea of adding extra power to the car's steering. Imagine a heavy wheel that is hard to turn and a pump or motor gives a strong push to help you turn it easily, so the term means 'a system that helps the driver turn the steering wheel'.
