Morphology
The meaning 'to remain in one's residence' is directly and compositionally derived from 'stay' (to remain) + 'home' (one's residence); the locative combination is a standard, predictable English pattern. This construction is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the two constituent words.
Etymology
Stay home paints a simple picture: you stay in your home and do not go out. So it means 'stay where you live'.
