Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'twill' identifies a diagonal-weave type and 'weave' denotes the method of interlacing threads, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a method/pattern of weaving producing diagonal ribs. This follows regular noun/adj+noun compounding patterns (cf. 'satin weave', 'plain weave') and is therefore directly understandable.
Etymology
Twill weave may come from the way threads 'twist' and pass over each other in small steps to make slanted lines, with twill pointing to that twisting and weave naming the cloth. That's why twill weave means a fabric with clear slanted ribs.
