Morphology
The meaning 'an advertisement printed and published in a newspaper' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'newspaper' (a periodical) with 'ad' (advertisement). This noun‑noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows ordinary naming logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase newspaper ad comes from the simple picture of a newspaper printing a small ad, with 'ad' short for 'advertisement' that shows a product, a job or a service. So, newspaper ad means 'an advertisement printed and published in a newspaper'.
