Morphology

fresh + lemon + juice

The meaning 'juice squeezed from fresh lemons' is directly and transparently composed from 'fresh' (recently produced), 'lemon' (the citrus fruit) and 'juice' (liquid), with no idiomatic or metaphorical shift. This straightforward nominal composition and common culinary collocation is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

The noun fresh lemon juice comes from the simple image of pressing a fresh lemon and catching the juice. The lemon is 'squeezed' just before cooking or drinking so the taste is bright, and that's why recipes ask for fresh lemon juice instead of bottled juice.
