Morphology
The meaning 'a room filled with steam used for relaxation or cleansing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'steam' (water vapor) with 'room' (an indoor space). This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically obvious, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Steam room comes from the simple image of a room filled with hot steam, like sitting inside a warm cloud of wet air. That's why the term means 'a room filled with steam for relaxation, health, or cleansing'.
