Morphology
warmth + of + someone's + embrace
The meaning 'a feeling of comfort and affection when hugged' is directly compositional from 'warmth' (kind, comforting feeling) and 'embrace' (a hug), with 'of someone’s' simply showing possession. This noun-of-possessive construction is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the words would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Warmth of someone's embrace paints a simple picture of being hugged and feeling the other person's body heat and closeness. That's why the words warmth and embrace are used to mean the feeling of 'comfort', 'affection', and 'safety' you get from a hug.
