Morphology
The meaning 'an area on a screen or in a document where you can enter or display text' is directly and compositionally derived from 'text' (written content) + 'box' (an enclosed area or container). This simple noun+noun compound follows common cross-linguistic and UI naming conventions, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase text box comes from the simple picture of a small box on a page or screen where you put text. So it means 'an area on a screen or in a document where you can enter or display text'.
