Morphology
The meaning 'a muscle attached to bones and responsible for moving the skeleton' is directly and transparently built from 'skeletal' (pertaining to the skeleton) + 'muscle' (body tissue that produces movement). The adjective+noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning even if the term is somewhat technical.
Etymology
Skeletal muscle comes from the words skeletal, meaning 'skeleton' or bones, and muscle. These muscles attach to bones and pull on them to make the body move, so the name means 'muscles attached to bones'.
