Morphology
The meaning 'a person's condition in terms of thoughts, feelings, and mental processes' is directly derivable from combining 'psychological' (relating to the mind) with 'state' (a condition). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following standard adjective + noun combination and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
The term psychological state uses psychological to mean 'of the mind' and state to mean 'a condition'. So, it creates a simple image: it describes a person's lasting 'thoughts and feelings' or how their mind is for a period of time.
