Morphology
The meaning is a direct composition of 'newspaper' (the medium) + 'advertisement' (a persuasive message); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to an ad printed in a newspaper. This noun-noun compounding pattern is regular in English and parallels constructions in many other languages, so it is highly transparent rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Newspaper advertisement comes from the simple image of a small notice or picture printed on a page of a newspaper to tell many people about something for sale or a job. So, it means 'an advertisement that is printed and published in a newspaper'.
