Morphology
The noun compound 'money market' transparently combines 'money' (currency) and 'market' (place/system for trade), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a market or system for lending/borrowing money. Although the provided definition adds specialist DeFi/smart-contract details that are technical, the core financial meaning is compositional and cross-linguistically obvious.
Etymology
The money market in crypto borrows the same picture of a market for money but run by computer programs. Imagine people putting digital coins into a shared pool so others can 'lend' and 'borrow' them, and because it works like a market for quick lending, the term now means 'a place where users lend or borrow digital money to earn interest'.
