Morphology
The meaning 'a small bag or case containing toiletries for use while traveling' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'travel' (relating to journeying) with 'kit' (a set/package of supplies), i.e. a kit for travel. This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows predictable English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Travel kit comes from the simple idea of a small kit — a set of things you take when you travel. Picture a tiny bag with a toothbrush, soap and a razor you carry on a trip, and that image is why travel kit means a small bag of 'toiletries' to use while traveling.
