Morphology
The meaning 'a command given by speaking aloud' is directly derivable from combining 'voice' (spoken sound) with 'command' (directive/instruction); the compound transparently indicates the modality of the command. This is a common, compositional pattern in technology and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Voice command comes from the simple image of speaking an order to a machine: a person's voice says an instruction and the machine follows the command. So, it means 'an order you give by speaking' to a device.
