Morphology
The meaning 'the world of practical experience' is directly and compositionally derived from 'real' (genuine, actual) + 'world' (the realm of affairs), and the contrast with theoretical contexts follows a straightforward modifier+noun pattern. This construction is common across many languages (e.g. Spanish 'mundo real', French 'monde réel', Japanese '現実世界'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun real world comes from the difference between real and world, so imagine leaving a classroom and stepping into busy streets, jobs and bills. That's why it means 'the world of practical experience and everyday affairs'.
