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 as a digital form keeps the same idea but as a tiny file or 'link' you give by phone, QR code, or email, like handing over a small paper card. So a digital business card today means an electronic file that shares your name, job, company, and 'contact' details.
