Morphology
The meaning 'the fee paid for admission' is directly and transparently built from 'entrance' (the act/place of entering) + 'money' (currency), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes money required to enter. This composition (entrance/entry + fee/money) is cross-linguistically common and follows normal noun-noun compounding patterns, making it readily comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Entrance money comes from the simple image of giving money at the entrance gate to go into a place. So it means 'the fee paid for admission'.
