Morphology
The meaning 'the price proposed by a buyer' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'offer' (to propose a payment) with 'price' (amount of money). This compositional pattern (a price that is offered) is common and follows standard English noun-modifier semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Offer price comes from the simple image of a seller showing an offer amount as the price they will 'sell' for, like a tag in a shop or a number from a broker. So offer price means the price a seller or broker is ready to accept.
