Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the components: 'social' (relating to social situations) + 'anxiety' (nervousness), so it denotes anxiety in social interactions. This adjective+noun composition is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Social anxiety comes from a clear image: being near other people while your body feels tight and nervous, like standing on a small stage with all eyes on you. The words social, meaning 'people', and anxiety, meaning 'a tight, worried feeling', link to that picture. So, it means 'feeling afraid or very worried when you are with other people'.
