Morphology

stay + hydrate

The meaning 'to maintain sufficient fluid intake' is directly derivable from combining 'stay' (remain) with 'hydrated' (having enough water), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the sense. This is a straightforward compositional state construction (and cross-linguistically common), making the expression morphologically and semantically transparent.

Etymology

The phrase stay hydrated shows a clear picture: stay means remain and hydrated means full of water. People began using it as a short health reminder to drink often so you don't get 'dehydrated', so it now means 'to keep enough fluid in your body'.
