Morphology
The phrase combines 'state' (condition) and 'art' (here meaning technique or the body of skill), so there is a clear compositional link to the idea of the current condition of a technique. However, the specialized, conventionalized sense 'the most advanced level' is a fixed, technical usage that a B1 learner who only knows the literal words may not fully predict, though cross‑linguistic equivalents (e.g. French 'état de l'art') can sometimes help.
Etymology
State of the art comes from talking about the current 'state' or condition of an 'art' meaning a craft or skill, like a shop that shows the newest tools and best work that represent the craft right now. So, it now means 'the most advanced' level of tools, methods, or ideas available at the time.
