Morphology

revenue + sharing

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 is like a money pie cut into slices so each creator or partner gets a part, with revenue as the money and sharing as the dividing. That's why it means 'an agreement to divide the income from a product or service among the people or companies involved'.
