Morphology
The meaning 'juice obtained from carrots' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'carrot' (the vegetable) and 'juice' (liquid extracted from a plant), following a common noun+noun compounding pattern. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common construction that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
The noun carrot juice comes from the simple idea of making a drink by squeezing carrot to get juice. So it means 'juice made from carrots', a bright orange vegetable drink many people drink for health.
