Morphology
The meaning 'total demand in an economy' is directly and compositionally derived from 'aggregate' (overall total) + 'demand' (quantity wanted), so a learner who knows both constituent words can infer the MWE. Although it's a technical economics term, the noun–noun composition follows regular, cross-linguistically common patterns and does not require idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
Aggregate demand comes from the idea of many people's wants added together: aggregate means 'all together' and demand means 'want to buy'. Imagine all shoppers' lists put into one big pile; that image shows why it means the total amount people want to buy in a whole country.
