Morphology
The meaning 'a day when one does not work' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rest' (a period of stopping activity) + 'day' (a calendar day). This noun–noun compound follows a common and cross-linguistically regular pattern (e.g., Spanish 'día de descanso'), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Rest day comes from old customs where people set one day to stop work and take rest, for example religious days like the Sabbath or Sunday. That's why it now means 'a day when one does not work', a time to relax and recover.
