Morphology
The meaning 'a sum of money charged for entry' is directly derivable from combining 'admission' (entry or payment for entry) with 'fee' (sum paid for a service). This composition follows a transparent head-modifier pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound admission fee comes from the simple idea of paying to be let in: admission means being allowed in, 'to enter', and fee means a payment, like giving a coin to a guard at a gate. So, it means the money you pay to enter a place.
