Morphology
woman's + doctor
The meaning 'a doctor who specializes in gynecology' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'woman's' (possessive of 'woman') with 'doctor' to indicate a doctor for women. This possessive, compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Woman's doctor literally joins woman and doctor, creating the simple picture of a doctor who cares for women's health. It often means a 'gynecologist' or a doctor who helps with pregnancy, so it means 'a doctor who specializes in women's health'.
