Morphology

business + address

The meaning 'the address where a business is located or registered' is directly compositional from 'business' (a commercial company) + 'address' (place/contact details). This is a straightforward noun+noun compound following common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Business address combines business (the company) and address (the place or mail location); it names the single place where a company has its office and receives mail. Imagine a shop with a sign and a mailbox for bills and legal papers — that's why it means 'the address where a business is located or officially registered'.
