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 can also be pictured as a buyer holding up a number as their offer or proposed price in a sale or auction. So offer price means the price a buyer proposes when they want 'to buy' something.
