Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in the cost of goods or services' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rise' (an increase) + 'in' (linking to the domain) + 'prices' (costs), so a learner who knows the parts can infer the overall meaning. This follows a common and transparent noun + prepositional phrase pattern found across many languages, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
The phrase rise in prices comes from the simple image of rise meaning 'go up' and prices on a shop sign or a chart climbing higher. That's why it means 'an increase in the cost of goods or services'.
