Morphology

exhibition + area

The meaning 'a space for displaying works or booths' is directly and compositionally derived from 'exhibition' (a public presentation) + 'area' (a region or space), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE. Even if used for virtual/online contexts, that is a contextual extension and does not obscure the clear, cross-linguistically common composition.

Etymology

Exhibition area joins the words exhibition, meaning a public show of art or products, and area, meaning a space. It comes from fairs and trade shows where many booths were set up in one large indoor hall, so the phrase means the big space used to hold displays.
