Morphology
The meaning 'white, purified sugar obtained through processing' is directly and transparently derived from 'refined' (processed to remove impurities) modifying 'sugar' (the sweet ingredient). This adjective+noun composition is a regular, compositional pattern found across many languages (e.g., Spanish 'azúcar refinada', French 'sucre raffiné'), so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Refined sugar comes from the way makers 'refine' raw cane or beet sugar to make it clean and white. That's why it means 'white, purified sugar' used to sweeten food and drinks.
