Morphology
The meaning 'to purchase again' is directly derivable from 'buy' (to purchase) combined with 'back' functioning as a particle meaning 'again' or 'to a previous state/owner', so the compound reads as 'buy again'. This is a straightforward compositional verb+particle pattern common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Buy back shows a simple picture: you buy, meaning you pay money for, something and get it back from the person who has it. So it means 'to buy something again after you sold, lost, or gave it away'.
