Morphology
The meaning 'an effective or genuine answer' is directly and predictably built from the adjective 'real' (genuine) modifying the noun 'solution' (answer/remedy). This is a straightforward compositional adjective+noun pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase real solution uses a simple picture: real means 'genuine' and solution is an answer to a problem. Imagine a clear bottle holding an answer that truly 'works' — so real solution means a true, effective answer, not a quick fix.
