Morphology

rental + income

The meaning 'income earned from renting out property' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rental' (relating to renting) + 'income' (money received). This is a regular adjective+noun compound with a transparent, cross-linguistically common logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Rental income comes from the simple picture of rental — letting someone use your house or flat — and income — the money you receive. So, it means 'money earned from renting out property'.
