Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'business' (commercial activity) + 'relationship' (how parties interact): it simply denotes an interaction or connection in a commercial/professional context. This noun+noun combination follows standard English compounding patterns and has clear, cross-linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Business relationship paints a simple picture: two people doing business together and keeping a steady relationship, like partners who shake hands and follow a written 'contract'. So it means 'a formal arrangement to work together regularly'.
