Morphology
wide-angle + lens
The phrase is compositionally built from 'wide' + 'angle' + 'lens' and directly denotes a lens with a wide field of view; a learner who knows 'wide', 'angle' and 'lens' can infer this meaning. The compound form and the concept (a lens that captures a wider scene) are cross-linguistically common and follow standard English compounding patterns, so it will be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Wide-angle lens is named for its parts: a wide angle means the lens can 'see more' to the sides than a normal lens. That's why photographers use it to show whole rooms or big landscapes and why close objects may look larger and the edges a little stretched.
