Morphology

list + price

The meaning is directly compositional: 'list' (a recorded sequence) modifies 'price' to mean the price shown on a catalogue or price list. This straightforward noun-noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., Spanish 'precio de lista'), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

List price comes from shops' paper price lists: the list is the paper that shows each item's cost and the price is the number on it. So list price means 'the stated price' you see in a catalogue, before any discounts.
