Morphology
The meaning 'the juice obtained from limes' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'lime' (the citrus fruit) with 'juice' (liquid from a plant), following a regular noun–noun compound pattern. This construction is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'jugo de lima', French 'jus de citron vert'), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun lime juice comes from squeezing a lime to get its juice. People use that sour liquid to add a bright taste to drinks and food or to make meat softer, so the phrase now means 'the juice obtained from limes'.
