Morphology
The phrase is largely compositional: 'gross' qualifies 'profit' as before certain deductions and 'margin' signals a percentage or ratio, so a learner who knows the words can infer it refers to a profit-related percentage. However, the precise accounting nuance (that it specifically relates gross profit to net sales or COGS) is technical and may not be fully predictable without domain knowledge, so it is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The term gross profit margin uses gross for the 'total before costs', profit for what is left, and margin for a thin edge that shows the difference. So, imagine a thin strip between sales and costs, and that is why it means the percent of sales left after paying for the goods.
