Morphology
The meaning 'established or decided by mutual agreement' is directly derivable from 'agreed' (having consensus) combined with the preposition 'upon' marking the item being agreed on. This is a regular compositional pattern (agreed + on/upon) that B1 learners who know both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Agreed upon comes from the image of people all saying agreed and placing that decision upon one plan or paper, like everyone signing the same page. So it means 'decided together'.
