Morphology
The meaning 'to cut out or save a newspaper article' is directly and transparently built from 'clip' (to cut or trim) plus 'article' (a newspaper/magazine item). This verb + object composition follows standard English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Clip the article comes from the simple act of using scissors to clip a paper article out of a newspaper or magazine and put it in a file. So, it means 'to cut out or save a newspaper or magazine article for later'.
