Morphology
The meaning 'a stand or display for meat' is directly and compositionally derived from 'meat' + 'rack' — literally a rack that holds meat. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common compounding patterns (found cross-linguistically), so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
Meat rack comes from the simple shop picture of a butcher who hangs or puts pieces of meat on a rack of hooks or shelves so customers can see the cuts. So today a 'meat rack' means the part of a shop or a shelf used to hold and show meat.
