Morphology

shower + bath

Both constituents denote washing: 'shower' (washing under a spray) and 'bath' (a method of washing), so the compound straightforwardly denotes a type of bath that uses a shower — essentially a shower. This regular noun–noun composition follows common compounding patterns and is readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

Shower bath comes from joining shower and bath, giving the clear picture of standing under water sprayed from above to wash yourself; it's like a quick bath while you stand in a shower. That's why it means 'a method or place for washing by standing under sprayed water'.
