Morphology
The meaning 'milk from which the cream has been removed' is directly derivable from combining 'skim' (having had the cream removed) with 'milk'. This simple adjective + noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun skim milk comes from the kitchen action of removing the cream that floats on the top of fresh milk. Cooks would skim off the cream with a spoon, leaving milk with less fat, so today skim milk means milk with the cream taken away or 'lower fat'.
