Morphology

bring + to + market

The meaning 'to make a product available for sale' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bring' (to move or put) + 'to' + 'market' (place of commerce), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer the sense. This verb + prepositional phrase follows common, cross-linguistic patterns for launching or taking products to a marketplace and involves no opaque idiomatic shift.

Etymology

The phrase bring to market comes from the image of a maker who brings goods to the market (the town place where people buy) to sell them. So it means 'to make a product available for sale'.
