Morphology
The meaning 'the number that identifies a particular page' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'page' (a sheet or side in a book) with 'number' (a numerical identifier). This noun+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for labels/identifiers, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Page number comes from the simple idea of putting a small number on each page so loose sheets stay in the right order. That small mark 'identifies' the page and helps you 'find' or 'refer to' it, so today page number means the number that tells you exactly which page to look at.
