Morphology
The meaning 'the price at which something is offered for sale' is directly and compositionally derived from 'ask' (to request a price) plus 'price' (money required to buy), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. It is a common sales collocation following standard noun-of-verb composition and has clear parallels in other languages, supporting full transparency.
Etymology
Asking price comes from a simple market scene where a seller says how much they want: asking (asking for money) and price (the amount). So it means the amount someone 'asks for' when they want to sell something.
