Morphology
The meaning 'the outward or visible appearance' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'visual' (related to sight) combined with 'aspect' (a particular facet or feature). This adjective+noun pattern is a standard, cross-linguistically common construction, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Visual aspect comes from a simple picture: visual means 'seen' and aspect means a side or view, like the colours, shape or light you notice when you look at something. So visual aspect means the 'outward appearance' or 'how something looks', and that is why we use it for what can be seen.
