Morphology
The meaning (an edition produced in restricted/small numbers) is directly derivable from combining 'limited' (restricted in quantity or scope) with 'edition' (a particular issue of a work); a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer this. The adjective + noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so the expression is transparently compositional.
Etymology
Limited edition comes from book and art publishers who made only a small number of copies and often numbered or signed each one. Because the limited number of an edition made each item feel 'special' or 'rare', the phrase now means a product made in a small, more valuable batch.
