Morphology
The meaning 'costs of goods and services are increasing' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rising' (becoming higher) + 'prices' (costs), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the phrase. This is a common, literal collocation with clear cross-linguistic equivalents (e.g., Spanish 'precios en aumento', French 'prix en hausse'), reinforcing its predictability for learners.
Etymology
Rising prices shows a simple picture: rising means going up and prices are what you pay for things, so imagine price tags climbing steps or a ladder. So, it means 'the cost of things is increasing'.
