Surface Forms

gross revenue singular

Morphology

gross + revenue

Both constituents directly convey the components of the meaning: 'gross' (total before deductions) and 'revenue' (income/receipts). The compound follows a straightforward noun–noun composition common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the two words will readily infer 'gross revenue' as total income before deductions.

Etymology

Gross revenue uses gross in its old meaning of 'whole' and revenue for money a business gets from sales. So gross revenue is the total money received before any costs or expenses are taken away.
