Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'monetary' (relating to money) and 'value' (worth), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the amount of money something is worth. This is a straightforward, compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns, making it immediately understandable.
Etymology
Monetary value comes from the simple idea of putting a price on something: monetary means money and value means worth, like a price tag on a shop item. So monetary value now means 'the amount of money something is worth'.
