Morphology
The meaning 'buying goods or services over the internet' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'online' (via the internet) with 'shopping' (the activity of buying). This is a productive, compositional construction found across languages and follows standard word-formation patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Online shopping comes from the simple picture of doing shopping while you are online on a computer or phone. It is like buying from a shop without going there, so it means 'buying goods or services over the internet'.
