Morphology

product + line

The meaning is directly compositional: 'product' (an item for sale) combined with 'line' (a series/range) yields 'a series or family of products.' This is a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern (e.g., Spanish 'línea de productos', French 'ligne de produits'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Product line comes from the image of many products in a neat line on a shop shelf or in a catalogue, all from the same brand. So it means 'a group of related products' that a company sells together.
