selling price singular

Morphology

selling + price

The meaning 'the price at which something is offered or sold' is directly derivable from combining 'selling' (the act/process of offering or exchanging goods) with 'price' (the amount of money required to buy). This noun–noun/compound pattern is compositionally regular and has clear cross‑linguistic parallels (e.g. Spanish 'precio de venta'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Selling price comes from the simple picture of a shop label that shows how much an item is being sold for — the price a buyer must pay. So, it means 'the price at which something is offered or sold'.
