Morphology
orange-juice + concentrate
The meaning is fully compositional: 'orange-juice' names the type of juice and 'concentrate' denotes a substance made denser by removal of water, so together they mean orange juice with most water removed. This X + concentrate pattern is common and follows regular noun-modifier semantics in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Orange-juice concentrate comes from the way the juice is made: makers remove most of the 'water' so the orange-juice becomes a thick, syrupy concentrate. That's why it now means the frozen or thick juice you keep and later add 'water' to so you can drink it.
