Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in the value of an asset' is directly and compositionally derived from 'capital' (assets or invested funds) + 'gain' (a profit or increase). This is a regular noun+noun financial compound with equivalent constructions in many languages (e.g., Spanish 'ganancia de capital'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The term capital gain comes from the idea that capital means money or investment and gain means extra money. When you sell something for more than you paid, the extra money is the capital gain, so the term means 'an increase in value when sold'.
