Morphology
The meaning 'an amount of money paid or borrowed before it is earned' is directly and transparently built from 'cash' (money) + 'advance' (payment made before due), so the combined sense is compositionally predictable. This noun+noun financial compound is common across languages and in everyday English, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Cash advance comes from the simple image of getting cash 'in advance', that is, money given to you before you have earned it. So, cash advance means 'money paid or borrowed before it is earned'.
