Morphology
The meaning 'the act of lowering the selling price' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'price' (the money required to buy an item) with 'reduction' (the process of reducing amount or price). This compositional noun phrase follows a clear, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Price reduction comes from a simple shop image: a seller cuts the number on a price tag to make the price smaller. That's why reduction here means making the cost 'lower' and why we use the phrase for lowering a selling price.
