Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun composition: 'bleach' (a whitening chemical) + 'liquor' (an industrial liquid/solution) yields 'the liquid containing bleaching agents.' This follows normal compositional patterns and is predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent senses (though learners who only know 'liquor' as an alcoholic beverage may need contextual help).
Etymology
Bleach liquor names the liquid used to remove color from cloth or paper. The word liquor here simply means 'liquid', and the image of soaking cloth in a bath that lightens it explains why bleach liquor means 'a liquid with bleaching chemicals' used for cloth and paper.
