Morphology
The MWE meaning is directly compositional: combining 'title' (the name/heading of a work) with 'page' (a sheet or side) yields the page that displays the title, author, and publisher. This is a common, literal book-related compound and is cross-linguistically obvious, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun title page comes from the page at the start of a book that shows the title, author, and publisher. Because that page tells readers the book's name and who made it, people began to call it the 'title page', and it still means that first page today.
