Morphology
The meaning 'to keep goods unsold in one season for sale in the next' is directly derivable from 'carry' (to hold/move/stock) plus 'over' (across or into the following period); together they compositionally signal transfer into the next time period. This verb+particle pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb carry over comes from the simple image of physically carrying something over a line or from one day to the next. So when we say carry over now, we mean 'to transfer' or 'to continue' something into a later time or new place.
