Morphology
The meaning 'the total income of a country' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'national' (relating to the country) with 'income' (funds received). This is a standard noun‑compound pattern found across languages and in basic economic vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
National income is a simple image: imagine a country's 'wallet' where you add up every person's and business's income—wages, profits, rent and pensions—across the whole nation. So national income means the total money earned inside a country in a year.
