Morphology
The meaning 'a strong and dependable structure' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'solid' (dependable, well supported) with 'framework' (an organized system or structure). This is a regular adjective + noun compositional pattern that is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Solid framework comes from building: imagine a solid wooden framework that holds a house steady while people finish the walls and roof. That picture explains why the phrase means 'a strong and dependable structure or basis' for plans or work.
