Morphology
The meaning 'an amount of money spent on travel' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'travel' (journeying) and 'expense' (sum of money spent), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to costs related to travel. This compound noun follows a regular compositional pattern common cross-linguistically and in workplace usage, making the employer-reimbursement nuance predictable from context rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
The term travel expense comes from the simple idea of travel meaning a trip for work and expense meaning money spent. Imagine saving tickets and receipts to give to your boss so the company will pay you back. That's why travel expense means 'money spent on work travel' that the employer covers.
