Morphology
The meaning 'a card used to access or withdraw cash' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'cash' (money) and 'card' (a payment/identification card); this regular noun+noun compound follows predictable English word-formation patterns. A B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning, and similar compounds exist in many languages, supporting transparency.
Etymology
The name cash card comes from the simple image of a small card that gives you cash at a bank machine: imagine sliding the card into a machine and money coming out. So, the name now means 'a payment card used to withdraw cash or pay electronically'.
