Morphology
sleeping + bag
The meaning 'a bag for sleeping' is directly and transparently derived from the constituents 'sleeping' (pertaining to sleep) and 'bag' (a portable container); the noun phrase denotes a bag used for sleeping. This kind of compositional adjective/noun or noun+noun compound is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word sleeping bag comes from the clear image of a bag you sleep in, like the padded sacks or animal skins early campers used to stay warm at night. That's why today sleeping bag means 'a large padded bag that keeps you warm for sleeping', used when camping.
