Morphology

Wikipedia + page

The meaning 'a web page on the Wikipedia platform' is transparently composed from 'Wikipedia' (the online encyclopedia) and 'page' (a page/webpage); knowing both constituents allows a learner to infer it's an individual article or page on Wikipedia. The pattern site-name + page (e.g., 'Facebook page', 'homepage') is common cross-linguistically and in English, so a B1 learner who knows the two words will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Wikipedia page comes from the name Wikipedia, which mixes wiki (a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick') and 'encyclopedia'. The word page is like a page in a book, so a Wikipedia page is a single online page with information about one topic.
