The meaning of 'price cutting' is directly compositional: 'cutting' (reducing) applied to 'price' yields the action of reducing prices. This is a common noun + gerund/verb-noun construction found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows 'price' and 'cut' will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
