Morphology

magazine + article

The meaning 'an article published in a magazine' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'magazine' (a periodical) with 'article' (a written piece); the compound simply specifies the publication medium. This noun–noun modifier pattern is common across languages and follows predictable composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Magazine article comes from the idea of a magazine as a collection, like a box or folder, and an article as a single written piece. So a magazine article is one of the pieces published inside that collection.
