Morphology
The meaning 'a contract concerning a sale' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'sale' (a completed exchange of goods) with 'agreement' (a contract); a learner who knows both words can readily infer this interpretation. This is a regular compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns rather than an idiomatic or metaphorical shift.
Etymology
Sales agreement comes from the simple idea of a sale, giving something for money, and an agreement, a promise between two people. Because people began writing these promises down as proof, sales agreement now means 'a legal contract that transfers ownership to the buyer for an agreed price'.
