Morphology
The meaning ‘juice extracted from cranberries’ is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cranberry' (the berry) and 'juice' (the liquid), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound meaning. This is a straightforward noun-noun compound following common cross-linguistic patterns for naming fruit juices, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The name cranberry juice comes from early Native American and colonial times when people crushed small red cranberries to make a sour juice they drank or used as 'medicine'. That's why today cranberry juice simply means 'the drink made from cranberries'.
