Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'juice' (liquid from fruit) with 'reamer' (a hand tool for extracting citrus juice); the compound literally names the tool used to extract juice. This straightforward noun–noun composition is a common, compositional naming pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Juice reamer is a kitchen tool whose name shows what it does: juice and reamer. A reamer is a small cone with ridges that you press and twist into an orange or lemon to 'squeeze' out the juice, so the name literally means a tool for removing juice from citrus fruit.
