Morphology
The meaning 'a formal request to obtain a mortgage loan' is directly derivable from 'mortgage' (a loan secured by property) combined with 'application' (a written request/form). This is a straightforward noun–noun composition following common modification patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Mortgage application may come from old words that meant a 'dead pledge' — a promise made when someone borrowed money to buy a house, where the house could be taken if the debt was not repaid. The word application means a formal request, so a mortgage application is the official request to get that house loan, and the name reminds you the loan is tied to the home.
