Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'market' (the system of commerce) with 'price' (the money required to buy an item): it denotes the price in an open market. This noun–noun composition is a common, literal pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun market price comes from old open markets where traders and customers met and set a single price by buying and selling. The word market meant the place of trade, so 'market price' now means the price most buyers and sellers agree on.
