Morphology
The meaning 'the scheduled or expected time when a vehicle or person is due to arrive' is directly compositional from 'time' (a point or moment), 'of' (a relational/genitive marker), and 'arrival' (the act of coming), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it. The noun + of + noun construction is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary English composition patterns, making this phrase immediately understandable at B1.
Etymology
The noun time of arrival comes from travel schedules that put a clock time next to the word arrival to show when a train or plane would come. So it means the 'scheduled' or 'expected' moment when someone or something will reach a place.
