Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'stay' (to remain) with 'informed' (having knowledge); a learner who knows both words can infer 'continue to be up-to-date' without prior exposure. This is a literal, compositional phrase following ordinary English patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so it should be transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Stay informed may come from the simple image of a person staying near a notice board or a radio so they become informed about the latest news and events. So the phrase means 'to keep up-to-date'.
