Morphology
The meaning 'the legal right to possess, use, or dispose of property' is directly derivable from combining 'property' (an asset) and 'right' (a legal entitlement). This noun–noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'derecho de propiedad') and follows standard semantic logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Property right comes from the simple image of a house or piece of land with a fence or sign showing who owns it; property is what someone owns and a right is their power over it. So, today property right means the legal power 'to own, use, or sell' that thing.
