Morphology
The meaning of 'hot sauce' is directly compositional: 'hot' (spicy) + 'sauce' (a condiment) yields a spicy condiment, so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE. This construction is common cross-linguistically (e.g. Spanish 'salsa picante'), supporting immediate comprehension at B1.
Etymology
Hot sauce is a simple, literal name: it is a sauce made from hot (spicy) chili peppers and spices, a strong liquid you pour on food. So the name means 'a spicy condiment used to add heat and flavor'.
