Morphology
The meaning 'a business arrangement in which two or more parties collaborate' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'joint' (involving two or more parties) with 'venture' (a commercial undertaking involving risk). This straightforward adjectival+noun composition is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Joint venture comes from the image of two companies joining for a risky project: joint means 'together' and venture suggests a risky trip or project. So a joint venture is a business project two or more firms do 'together', where they 'share' money, work, risks and profits.
