Morphology
The meaning 'the process by which the body repairs tissue after an injury' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'wound' (an injury) with 'healing' (the recovery process). This noun–noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Wound healing joins wound, meaning a cut or injury, and healing, meaning the body 'getting better'. The image of the skin closing and new tissue forming shows why it means 'the process the body uses to repair an injury'.
