Morphology

monetary + resource

The meaning 'assets in the form of money' is directly and compositionally derived from 'monetary' (pertaining to money) modifying 'resource' (available support or assets). This adjective+noun combination follows a standard and cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Monetary resource is a simple picture: monetary means money and resource means something you can use. So a monetary resource is a supply of money available 'to spend or invest'.
