Morphology
The phrase directly combines 'friend' + 'price' to mean a price offered to friends (typically a discount), which is a straightforward noun+noun compositional pattern. This target/beneficiary reading is common across languages and follows normal English compound semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Friend price likely comes from the simple idea of a seller giving a lower price to a friend as a favour. So it now means 'a lower price' offered to someone you know.
