Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'right' (on the right-hand side) combined with 'hemisphere' (a half of the brain) yields the right half of the brain. This straightforward spatial and anatomical composition is cross-linguistically common and would be readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Right hemisphere names the right half of the brain; imagine a walnut split in two so the right hemisphere is the right 'half'. Because this side helps control the left side of the body and often handles 'creative' and 'space' skills, the name explains which half and what it does.
