Morphology
The meaning 'the juice obtained from oranges' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'orange' (the fruit) with 'juice' (liquid extracted from plants), forming a straightforward noun+noun compound. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows basic English compounding rules, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Orange juice is a simple image: people squeeze an orange and collect the juice that comes out into a glass. So, orange juice means the 'drink' made from squeezed oranges.
