Morphology
The meaning 'an order for groceries' is directly derivable from combining 'grocery(ies)' (foodstuffs/household items) with 'order' (a request for goods); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this meaning. Although the usual phrasing is 'grocery order' or 'order for groceries', the semantic composition is transparent and cross-linguistically straightforward.
Etymology
Groceries order comes from the simple idea of giving a shop a list of groceries and placing an order, a 'request' for those items. Shop staff would collect the goods and deliver them or have them ready for pickup, so today the phrase means asking a store to buy and bring food and household items.
