Morphology
The meaning 'the total amount of money circulating in an economy' is directly derivable from combining 'money' (currency) with 'supply' (amount or provision available). Although the term is used in economics, its composition is transparent and follows common noun+noun semantics that a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand.
Etymology
Money supply compares money to a town's water: think of money like water and supply as how much is available for people to use. So money supply means the 'total amount' of money moving around the economy, including cash and money in bank accounts.
