Morphology
The meaning 'the liquid obtained from lemons' is directly and compositionally derived from 'lemon' (the fruit) + 'juice' (liquid), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE. This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for naming fruit-derived liquids, making it transparent.
Etymology
Lemon juice comes from squeezing a lemon to get its sour juice, the liquid people add to food and drinks or use for light cleaning. So, the name simply means the liquid you get from lemons and explains why it is used for flavor or to keep fruit fresh.
