Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'symptom' (a sign or effect of illness) that is specifically associated with 'withdrawal' (stopping or reducing an addictive substance). This noun+noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., 'síntoma de abstinencia', 'symptôme de sevrage') and would be immediately understandable to learners who know both constituents.
Etymology
Withdrawal symptom: The compound withdrawal and symptom comes from a simple picture: withdrawal is something being pulled away from the body and symptom is a 'sign' the body shows. When a drug or alcohol is 'withdrawn' or 'taken away', the body reacts with signs like shaking or feeling anxious, so the phrase means the signs that appear after stopping an addictive substance.
