Morphology
The meaning 'an advertisement' follows directly from combining 'commercial' (relating to trade/advertising) with 'message' (a communication), yielding a commercial communication or advertisement. This compositional pattern is regular in English and common across other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Commercial message comes from the simple idea of a business, a commercial, buying time to send a short message on radio or TV. Companies paid to play that short 'advertisement' during programs, so today the phrase means a paid 'advertisement' on radio or TV.
