Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'pubic' specifies the anatomical region (the pubis/genital area) and 'hair' names the filamentous growth, so combined they describe hair in the pubic region. This literal adjective+noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and therefore a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pubic hair is named for where and when it grows. The word pubic points to the 'pubic area' at the front of the body, and this hair usually appears during 'puberty', so the phrase means hair near the private parts.
