Morphology
The meaning 'a loan that must be repaid by a specified date' is directly derivable from combining 'time' (a temporal specification) with 'loan' (borrowed money), so the modifier indicates a temporal repayment condition. This compositional modifier+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The noun time loan comes from the simple idea of a loan tied to a fixed time, like an agreement to pay back money by a certain day. That's why a time loan means a loan that must be repaid on or before a specified date.
