Morphology

price + list

The meaning 'a list of prices' is directly and compositionally derived from 'price' (cost of an item) + 'list' (a recorded sequence), following a common noun-noun compounding pattern in English. This is a literal, cross-linguistically common construction that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.

Etymology

The compound noun price list comes from shops where sellers wrote each item's price on paper or on a board so customers could see them. That's why it means 'a written list showing the prices charged'.
