Morphology
The meaning 'a business that sells goods at reduced prices' is directly and compositionally derived from 'discount' (reduced price) + 'business' (commercial enterprise). This noun–noun compound follows a common, transparent pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Discount business shows a simple picture: a shop with big discount signs selling items for less to bring in more customers. That's why it means 'a business that sells goods or services at reduced prices'.
