Morphology
The meaning 'a carbonated soft drink flavored with orange' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'orange' (the fruit/flavour) and 'soda' (a carbonated beverage). This noun–noun compounding follows common productive patterns in English and many other languages (e.g. Spanish 'soda de naranja'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Orange soda comes from making a sweet, fizzy drink by adding orange juice or syrup to soda water. So today orange soda means 'a fizzy soft drink that tastes like orange'.
