Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a sauce flavored with curry' is directly and compositionally derived from 'curry' (spiced dish or spice) + 'sauce' (a liquid condiment). This noun+noun composition follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Curry sauce comes from the Indian word 'kari', which meant a spiced sauce or gravy. When British cooks began serving that spiced liquid with meat and rice, they called it curry sauce, so today it simply means 'a spiced sauce' you pour over food.
