Morphology
The noun 'business card' is a straightforward composition of 'business' (professional occupation) and 'card' (small piece of card), so its meaning — a card connected to one's business or professional contact details — is directly derivable from the parts. Even though the definition mentions a modern digital form, the basic concept is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Business card comes from an old habit: shop owners and visitors would give a small paper card with their name and shop so people could remember them and 'contact' them. So today a business card is a small printed card with your name, job, company, and phone or email.
