Morphology
The meaning 'the liquid squeezed or pressed from fruit' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fruit' (edible seed-bearing body) + 'juice' (liquid), forming a straightforward noun–noun compound. This concept and construction are cross-linguistically common and follow transparent English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun fruit juice comes from the simple picture of squeezing fruit so the juice pours into a glass. So it means 'the liquid that comes from fruit', a drink.
