Morphology
The meaning 'an especially advantageous offer' is directly derivable from combining 'great' (excellent) with 'deal' (an offer/transaction); as a simple adjective + noun composition the sense is compositional and predictable. Although 'deal' has other senses (e.g., 'a great deal' = a large amount), in contexts like 'got a great deal on my new laptop' the intended transaction/price sense is clear, so a B1 learner knowing both words would likely understand it.
Etymology
One popular story says the phrase great deal comes from markets where deal meant an 'offer' and great showed it was very good. So a great deal became 'a very good bargain' that saves you money.
