Morphology
The meaning 'a label showing an item's price' is directly and transparently composed from 'price' (the cost) and 'tag' (a small attached label). This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g. Spanish 'etiqueta de precio') so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The name price tag comes from the simple idea of a small tag tied to an item that shows its price. Sellers used these tags so customers could see how much to pay, so today price tag means a label 'to show the price'.
