Morphology

real-estate + business

The phrase is compositionally predictable as 'business' that deals in 'real estate' (i.e. a company operating in the property market), so learners who know the constituents will grasp the general idea. However, the presented definition narrows the referent to virtual/metaverse land — a domain-specific extension that a B1 learner who only knows the basic words would not reliably infer, so the transparency is partial.

Etymology

Real-estate business comes from an old use of real for things you own and estate for a large house with its land. The picture to remember is people buying and selling pieces of land and houses, so today it means the business of trading 'property'.
