Morphology

expense + record

The meaning 'a written account listing money spent' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'expense' (money spent) with 'record' (a written account). This straightforward noun + noun composition follows common English patterns and has clear equivalents in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it.

Etymology

Expense record comes from the simple image of a shop owner writing each expense into a record, a big book of notes. So, it now means 'a written list of money that has been spent'.
