Morphology
The meaning 'a list of things to buy' is directly and compositionally derived from 'shopping' (buying goods) + 'list' (a recorded sequence of items). This is a common, cross-linguistic compound noun pattern and follows straightforward semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The words shopping list name a small list you make before shopping to remember what to buy. Imagine a note guiding you around the store, and that's why it means 'a list of things you want to buy'.
