How Evaluative
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'an article that provides a critical evaluation or summary' is directly derivable from combining 'review' (an evaluative essay) with 'article' (a written piece). This noun-noun composition is a straightforward, common pattern in English (and parallels exist in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun review article comes from the idea that a review is 'to look back over' other work and an article is a short written piece. So a review article is a piece that looks back over many studies and gives a clear 'summary' or opinion of them.
