Morphology
This is a straightforward noun–noun compound where 'travel' (journeying) and 'reimbursement' (repayment of expenses) combine compositionally to mean repayment for travel costs. The relation follows common administrative phrasing found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Travel reimbursement comes from the simple idea of getting money back for travel costs. You pay for travel like tickets or hotels and your employer gives you reimbursement, money 'paid back' to cover those costs, so the phrase means money returned for work trips.
