Morphology

question + sheet

The meaning is a straightforward composition: a 'sheet' that contains 'questions', so a learner who knows both words can easily infer it refers to a paper with questions (e.g., a test paper). This noun–noun compounding is common cross-linguistically and follows a transparent, literal pattern that is immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.

Etymology

The compound question sheet comes from the simple idea of a single sheet of paper printed with questions for a 'test' or 'exam'. So, when a teacher hands out a question sheet, they mean the paper that contains the questions students must answer.
