Morphology
The meaning 'meat that is red or dark before cooking' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'red' (a color) with 'meat' (animal flesh), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound meaning. This adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'carne roja', French 'viande rouge') and follows standard English patterns, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Red meat gets its name from the simple color of the meat before cooking: the red or dark look of the meat from cows, sheep, and pigs stood out next to birds and fish. That's why today red meat means meat from animals like cows and sheep, not 'white meat' like chicken or fish.
