Morphology

cider + vinegar

The meaning 'vinegar made from fermented apple cider' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cider' (an apple beverage) with 'vinegar' (a sour liquid used in cooking). This is a straightforward noun–noun composition following common compounding patterns (and found in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Cider vinegar is literally vinegar made from apple cider. People first make apple cider from pressed apples and then let it turn sour into vinegar, so today cider vinegar means the sour vinegar made from apples and used to add flavor to food.
