Morphology
The meaning 'distribution of income' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'revenue' (income) with 'sharing' (apportioning parts). This noun + gerund composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern (e.g., Spanish 'reparto de ingresos'), so learners who know the constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Revenue sharing creates a clear picture: a central pot of tax money, the revenue, is divided into pieces and handed out, the sharing, to states or towns. So it means 'the government gives part of the money it collects' to local authorities.
